Sculpture by Jorge Dubon, Sculpture in Clermont-Ferrand, France
The Sculpture de Jorge Dubon is an outdoor work in Clermont-Ferrand, France, made from durable materials such as metal or stone and composed of assembled geometric forms. Its size allows visitors to walk around it and take in each part from a different angle.
Jorge Dubon was born in Mexico City in 1938 and trained there in art and architecture before continuing his studies in Paris, London, and New York. Those years abroad shaped a practice that eventually placed his works in public spaces across Europe and the Americas.
The sculpture by Jorge Dubon stands in an outdoor space and is freely accessible to everyone, which was a deliberate choice by the artist. Its forms carry echoes of Mesoamerican artistic traditions, a recurring thread in Dubon's body of work.
The sculpture stands outdoors and can be visited at any time without a reservation. Walking around it fully is worth the effort, as each side reveals a different arrangement of forms.
In 1968, Dubon created a concrete sculpture near the Mexico City Olympic stadium, and in 1983 he made two sequoia wood sculptures to mark the US independence celebrations. Both works are still standing today, bookending a long career of public commissions.
