UGO SCHILDGE
b. 1987, FranceBorn in 1987 in Paris, Ugo Schildge is a painter-sculptor, graduated from the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux Arts in2014. He produces his works between China, France and the United States.
Protected by Giuseppe Penone during his schooling at the Beaux Arts, he developed a taste inspired by his master for natural and vegetal things.
Ugo Schildge is an environmentalist but non-claimant artist whose vocation is expressed through a phantasmagorical look atflora and fauna. Man intervenes discreetly in his compositions, oftencamouflaged by vegetation.
After five years in NYC, where the artist notably joined the Invisible Dog Art Center residency and where he worked as Korakrit’s assistant, Ugo Schildge returned to settle in France in 2018. In May 2020, he entered aresidency at Poush Manifesto in Clichy and took the opposite view ofsolitary confinement to join this incubator of more than 140 artists.
In October 2020, the solo show Essence marks the return of the artist to the Parisian scene. The exhibition completes the triptych begun in2018 with Pollen in Shanghai and Nectar in NYC in 2019. An evolvingworld tour that echoes the “essential” imprint of Man on the earth, hisbenefits and his excesses.
The success of Essence is generating fruitful news for the artist in 2021, notably with a new solo show in Shanghai and numerousinternational projects.
