All my projects are somehow related to aspects of human relationships: our mistakes, our doubts and desires, as well as perceptions we each have of our own realities. My work explores the nature of our psychological relationships with objects, looking for the potential space between reality and the ideal model we aspire to achieve.
Thus, I analyse and question the sense and meaning of actions we undertake, construction and destruction. I am interested in individual repeated attempts, which sometimes lead to failure. Driven by well-intended actions, utopian aspirations or blinded by his ego, the individual reveals his true nature. The impression of impotence generated by such situations and by the individuals themselves simply highlights the fragile and endearing nature of the human being.
My research takes shape through different media, materials, and mountings such as wood, glass, staples, or drawings. My inspiration and influences comes from everyday life and more specifcally from day-to-day objects that condition our lives. My analysis/research is also focused on the use of these objects and the reactions, behaviours that they create, including the affective relationships we may have with them.
I consider my artistic oeuvre as a conveyor of encounters, an opportunity to link sectors and areas that usually ignore each other (ex: the so-called “noble” and “popular” cultures). I believe it is also a way to examine the position and the function of what we define as contemporary art.
Baptiste Debombourg
Baptiste Debombourg's paradoxical approach is to build from chaos. Violence is not what interests the artist, but "what comes after, what is linked to human beings, capable of the worst as well as the best". Baptiste Debombourg's initial gesture often takes the form of destroying packaging, regular furniture or laminated glass. Sealing and then making unusual objects or environments from these discarded items is the central part of his practice as a sculptor.
Torn up and dismantled, the medium, to which the artist attaches little importance, is then recreated and embellished through radical and visually powerful works that reinterpret our daily lives with irony, distance, and sometimes violence. The sculptural works examine the memory of places, modify our perception of space and our wandering conventions, demonstrating the pervasive effect of the environment on our behaviour and the ensuing narrative. His art reconciles in a plurality of gestures, bespoke and excessive, ephemeral and unchanging, trivial and sublime.

(excerpt) Cécile Godefroy, PhD in art history, art critic and scientific consultant for Arte Créative.
In his predominantly sculptural work, Baptiste Debombourg combines information and materials in experiments that unveil repressed, unspoken or ignored stories. A willing "restorative" artist, he repairs walls, furniture and objects while at the same time exposing their marks. His work asserts itself primarily by its monumentality, but it is paradoxical, precarious and fragile. A monument, as if in a state of convalescence, which pays tribute to destruction, to incomplete repair, even to resilience rather than power. This play of mobile reconstruction, beyond its ironic aspect, is fuelled by a reflection on time, history, memory and dreams.
(excerpt) Guillaume Désanges, art critic, exhibition curator, new président of Palais de Tokyo in Paris
Baptiste Debombourg would appear to be a "sociologist of the present" because he investigates the impact of our direct environment on the evolution of our bodies and on the present time since the pieces he presents belong to contemporary life: to encounters on the sides of mountain paths, to familiar furniture, to the ill-fated findings of everyday life (...) culture should be a historical process of construction and liberation of the self. His works always have a dual identity: the allure of the first glance and the subtext, or rather the sub-matter, both produced by the persistence of perception. Men come and go while the will to war endures.
(excerpt) Goënièvre Anaïs, writer, art critic.
