Bastien Aubry’s work is motivated by the poetry of failure and the beauty found in the less-than-perfect, and much of his sculptural practice features misshapen objects, alienated in a playful and ironic way. His book Out of Shape takes this concept further in the two-dimensional space of drawing.
Mixing design, art history, pop culture, and comics, Aubry fills the pages with caricatures, speech balloons, captions, misshapen forms, and squiggly lines – a humorous and thought-provoking deep dive into the artist’s own mind.
