Fabien Ducrot first studied photography and art history at the University of Toulouse, then joined the Beaux-Arts de Paris where he obtained his DNSAP in 2015. During his studies, he goes on a study trip to Chicago where he learns foundry techniques that have a great impact on his practice. In 2016, he participates in a sculpture symposium in Taiyuan, China where he is invited with other artists to create a monumental sculpture. In 2017, he participates in the exhibition ''De Statua - Davor und Danach'', curated by sculptor Didier Vermeiren and held at KIT in Düsseldorf, Germany. His work was also exhibited at the Louvre in 2017 and at the Yvon Lambert Foundation in Avignon during the exhibition ''Rêvez # 2'' in 2017-2018.
Sculpture has often sought through its own means to overcome its condition, to breathe life into inert matter, to make vaporous or fluid what is essentially solid or brittle. My research is part of this continuity. Having trained as a photographer, my attention to light has turned into a sculptural transfiguration of its qualities and dimensions. Transparency, for example, such an obvious phenomenon that it tends to escape our attention because of its invisibility, seems to me to be a sculptural challenge.
