Ugo Schildge’s work exists at the threshold of painting and sculpture, where material, movement, and image converge. Drawing from both mechanical systems and organic forms, his compositions favor balance, rhythm, and tactile presence, allowing natural references to emerge through layered structures that hover between abstraction and figuration.
Ugo Schildge (b. 1987, Paris) is a French artist whose practice moves between painting, sculpture, and design. A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris (2014), he was trained by Giuseppe Penone and later worked as an assistant to Bernard Moninot. Through a process-driven approach combining natural pigments, clay, and plaster, Schildge explores movement, material transformation, and the balance between control and chance. His work has been exhibited in France, Canada, Brazil, and the United States.
