CAPUCINE VANDEBROUCK studied at Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs of Strasbourg and completed her Degree last year. Her artistic practice draws from early installation and process art, incorporating elements of chance and a possibility of change through the degradation of materials.

CAPUCINE collects much of her work material from the shelves of DIY stores: plaster, concrete, resin and other industrial materials – anything that triggers a sculptural response. Most of them are changing their aggregate state in the course of the creative process giving rise to works that testify to their own mutability and transience.

VANDEBROUCK’s works create new environments that reveal the essence and unpredictability of the materials themselves. Through employing and manipulating functional and everyday materials, she re-configures their potential (and their limitations). For her installations, the artist’s process is ever present, revealing the tension between the material and the ephemeral, beauty and disorder, within classic sculptural concerns of volume in space.

And good news: her work is currently on view at Théodore Deck in Guebwiller until September 3, 2012 and at Crac Alsace, Altkirch for the Project Room n°10.
