Antoine Dufilho exhibits at the Lavoir de Mougins until March 15, 2026

Since February 27, Antoine Dufilho has been on show at the Lavoir de Mougins with a selection of automotive sculptures organized by the Rotary Club Mougins Le Cannet. The exhibition runs until March 15, 2026, free admission. This is one of the first steps in a particularly busy 2026 calendar for the artist, who has been holding a series of exhibitions between the Côte d'Azur, Paris and Belgium.

Antoine Dufilho: the 2026 exhibition calendar

Between contemporary art fairs, temporary exhibitions in prestigious venues and permanent installations in several European countries, 2026 promises to be a busy year for Antoine Dufilho. From Touquet-Paris-Plage to Silverstone, from Saint-Paul-de-Vence to Luxembourg, his monumental sculptures continue to gain ground. Eight countries, several major fairs, new models on three fronts at once: here's the complete panorama.

Car passion as heritage: what really gets passed on

Automotive passion can't be taught. It has to be shown. Antoine Dufilho didn't learn to love cars from a book: he grew up in the world of his great-uncle Jacques, actor, painter and sculptor, and Bugatti collector. It wasn't a lesson. It was a presence. A way of inhabiting things.

Ferrari 812 Superfast by Antoine Dufilho: total asymmetry at the service of movement

Among the Ferraris in Antoine Dufilho's catalog, the 812 Superfast occupies a singular place. Already present in a collection version at Galerie Marciano in a classic red livery, it is the subject of a radical reinterpretation: an entirely asymmetrical design that takes the artist's kinetic concept to a whole new level. This choice is not insignificant. The 812 Superfast is the last production Ferrari with a naturally-aspirated V12 engine, a pivotal model in Maranello's history. The total asymmetry Dufilho applies to it makes it an equally pivotal piece in the evolution of his own work.

Porsche G by Antoine Dufilho: when two sequences merge into a single sculpture

Since 2016 and his first interpretation of the Porsche 356, Antoine Dufilho has maintained a constant dialogue with the Stuttgart-based brand. Each new Porsche model in his catalog is an opportunity for technical experimentation. With the Porsche G, the artist goes one step further by merging two different plate sequences into a single sculpture for the first time. Dressed in a vintage orange finish that anchors the work in the spirit of the 70s, this piece marks a significant evolution in Dufilho's artistic vocabulary.

Formula One by Antoine Dufilho: a sculpted tribute to the golden age of Formula 1 racing

In July 2022, a 1.2-ton sculpture made its debut on the Paul Ricard circuit during the French Formula 1 Grand Prix. Its creator, Antoine Dufilho, paid homage to the single-seaters of the 90s, those that inspired a whole generation of enthusiasts. With Formula One, the sculptor has left his comfort zone to offer a treatment and finish never before seen in his work. A look back at a monumental piece that embodies the encounter between kinetic art and motor racing.

Anatomy of an Antoine Dufilho sculpture: materials, dimensions and limited editions

Behind each Antoine Dufilho sculpture lies a precise assembly of noble materials, a carefully considered format and a rigorous manufacturing process. Whether you're a seasoned collector or an enthusiast discovering the artist's world for the first time, understanding what goes into the physical composition of a work allows you to grasp its full value. From mirror-polished stainless steel to rusty corten, from the 80-centimetre collector's item to the 7-metre monument weighing over 5 tonnes, here's a complete deciphering of the anatomy of a Dufilho sculpture.

Why Antoine Dufilho rejects overproduction

The temptation to multiply works to increase visibility exists for all artists. Faced with sustained demand and numerous distribution opportunities, some give in to the temptation. Antoine Dufilho has made a different choice. Since 2012, the year he devoted himself fully to sculpture, the French sculptor has maintained a measured pace of creation. This refusal to overproduce is not an imposed constraint. It's a discipline that contributes to the quality of his work, its coherence and the trust that collectors place in him.

Between monumental works and intimate pieces: Antoine Dufilho’s artistic strategy

Not all sculptors work on the same scale. Some prefer the monumental, others concentrate on more accessible formats. For Antoine Dufilho, the choice of format is never a matter of chance. The French artist, who has devoted himself fully to automotive sculpture since 2012, builds his work through a controlled alternation between monumental creations and pieces intended for collectors.
