This 2024 edition features the work of French artist Jean-Charles de Quillacq. The sculptor takes us into his surprising world. The artist transforms everyday objects, raw or organic materials into singular works of art. He explores the boundaries between the abstract, the real and the unreal. Fascinated by the human body, its representations, effects and reactions, he doesn't hesitate to stage himself in his installations.

For this Art Basel Paris event, Jean-Charles de Quillacq presents several series of works in the majestic setting of the Chapelle des Petits-Augustins, grouped together in an exhibition entitled "A real boy". On view are various sculptures and installations, as well as his film made in 2023 at the Académie de France in Rome.
