Based in the south of Paris, Ruben Brulat creates sculptures, photography, and paintings which reflect upon the relationship between humanity and nature. His work absorbs and is absorbed by its natural surroundings, from the initial inspiration to the use of found materials and natural processes in the works’ creation.


Beginning in the forest, images are created from the surrounding flora and fauna. These images are printed, scanned, and reprinted before returning to the forest as objects to be buried. After a time of absorption, they are unearthed, rinsed, and appear as artefact: as sculpture. The sculptural paintings, a new exploration for Brulat, are once again born from a dialogue with the forest. His observations seep through the paintings, which become a visual study and a celebration of nature.
