Philippe Rude, raised among stained glass and artistic ironwork, is a contemporary sculptor and conceptual artist. Working mainly with stoneware and earthenware clay, he masters a unique technique combining terracotta and colorimetric experiments at high temperatures. He creates a timeless style, traveling between eras and artistic movements through his flagship work, Rude's cube, which he describes as an "autobiography". His works are not only aesthetically pleasing, they aspire to provoke a liberating emotion, a powerful emotional catharsis.
