  • BEFORE R2OT

    Trained in dance and fine arts, Virginie Hucher creates paintings, sculptures and performances around large, vibrating biomorphs. Her works have been exhibited in Paris, Metz, Los Angeles and London, acquired by private collectors and hotels internationally.

  • WHY DO WE LOVE IT

    Because her biomorphs seem to breathe: vast, vibrating forms that carry the memory of a gesture traced in earth, sand or snow. Painted and sculpted as talismans, they invite a quiet, almost ritual contemplation of our bond with the living world.

  • OUR ADVICE

    Virginie Hucher’s works keep their strength in open space. Hang the paintings on a calm wall in natural light and set the sculptures low, in a room you cross every day, where they can slowly become a quiet talisman for the home.

Virginie Hucher

Virginie Hucher is a French artist born in Paris. She lives and works in the north of France.

In 2023, she designed and built her own studio using self-build and eco-construction methods. Set beside a fifteenth-century church and bordered by a forest of varied tree species, this place of creation echoes the foundations of her practice: a sensitive trilogy of architecture, nature and the sacred. Here she develops a multidisciplinary practice encompassing painting, sculpture, drawing and performance, conceived as a sensitive interstice between the human body, nature and cosmo-telluric forces.

Drawing on her early training in dance, Virginie Hucher began working in situ with ephemeral performances titled Supports vivants (“Living Supports”). Directly on earth, sand or snow, she traces organic imprints at the scale of the landscape, capturing the raw energy of the place. This bodily and choreographic vocabulary is then transposed to the studio, where it becomes the matrix for her canvases, worked with a natural palette, and for her volumes in raw earth, earthenware or wood.
