BIOGRAPHY
Paul Loubet is an artist known for his multidisciplinary practice, which spans painting, sculpture, installation, publishing, and sound. Initially focused on large dystopian and naïve canvases inspired by pop culture and urban landscapes, his approach has evolved into a more minimal style, centered around primitive video games, digital cartography, and old electronic artifacts. Loubet’s practice is defined by a raw, low-tech aesthetic that challenges the promises of digital culture while embracing its rule-based logic. His work explores how systems, especially those derived from video games, shape our understanding of power, history, and conflict. The video game landscapes and toys from his youth have curiously found parallels in modern warfare, reflected in drone surveillance, automated combat, and technologies of control.
Loubet’s work has been exhibited in institutions such as CRAC Occitanie,the Musée International des Arts Modestes, Musée Royal de Mariemont, and MIMA Museum, among others. He has received significant recognition, including the 2017 ADAGP Palais de Tokyo Revelation Art Urbain Prize and the 2021 Villa Médicis Occitanie Prize. His work is part of various private and public collections in Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, France, Spain, and Switzerland.
