Bastien Aubry and Dimitri Broquard, initially working together as a graphic design team, turned toward art-making and ceramic in 2007. Aubry and Broquard access this traditional medium in an unorthodox manner that touches upon notions of kitsch and grotesque. The unwieldy, twisted forms and garish colors of the small-scale works provide an unusual visual vocabulary. Their saucisses reveal anthropomorphic traits up to the point where they become couples who gently scratch each other’s back, getting closer up to sheer intimacy, fueled at once by eroticism and irony.
