Committed to using locally sourced and upcycled materials, through their work Studio Loupluslou engages in a dialogue about contemporary industrial society, emphasizing the value of craftsmanship and heritage. Their art merges these elements, creating pieces that resonate with the organic forms, movement, and textures of the natural world.
Studio Loupluslou’s mission is to craft tools for imagination. They invite viewers to interact with their creations, encouraging a personal journey of imagination and reaction, fostering a deeper connection to the creative potential within us all.
Our society stands on the brink of a new epoch, where traditions and cultural heritage are fading amid digitalization and industrialization. Sheep herding and natural raw wool are undervalued today. Our project addresses this shift, reflecting on the diminishing value of natural resources and pastoral practices. We created large metal sculptures incorporating raw wool, sourced from José, a local shepherd in Catalunya. The movable, detachable sculptures were created through cutting, welding, oxidizing, and sanding to achieve an organic texture. Our project sparks conversations on sustainability and cultural preservation, challenging society to reevaluate the worth of natural resources and traditional practices.
