David Roux-Fouillet, of French and Danish origin, trained as a jewellery maker at the Haute École d’Art et de Design in Geneva, Switzerland. Roux-Fouillet has collaborated with names such as Harry Winston, and has won prizes such as the Theo Fennell Award for Overall Excellence. He creates biomorphic works of art, which focus on a study of form and materials. Ornamental Fauna (Film), sees Roux-Fouillet engage with the performance act of the insect placed within the decorative structure attached to a womans’ bust. The film is on loop, and has a duration of 140 minutes.
A conceptual Jeweller, Roux-Fouillet is an artist who pays attention to craftsmanship, and produces bodies frozen in an instant which capture nature in it’s essence: life.
