HEMERA & ALKINOOS Sculpting Female and Male into Sensual Neutrality The HEMERA sculpture aims to question and reimagine the male and the female. In the making of the HEMERA studies, a male and female torso were explored and resculpted into something new. The HEMERA sculpture is an abstraction of its previous exploration and is designed as an interplay of male and female body curves that flow into each other. As a way to express both neutrality and sensuality, the sculpture was created by placing and removing clay over and over for months until the HEMERA got its androgenic shape. However you look at it, the object shows different and often hidden lines representing the fluidity and secrecy of gender as a whole. ALKINOOS is half the size of HEMERA and looks into the other dimension. Atelier Ledure is the joint project of designers and makers, father and son, Filip and Victor Ledure. Victor Ledure (1990) is a designer of furniture, sculptures and utensils. He graduated in 2016 as an architect and worked in several renowned architecture practices. In 2020 he decided to focus more on his work and founded ATELIER LEDURE together with his father. He’s a guest lecturer of design at the Catholic University of Leuven, Faculty of Architecture and Interior Architecture. His work is currently displayed in various galleries nationally and internationally. Filip Ledure (1958) has exhibited in various galleries since 1995. He studied dentistry and ceramics and ran his dental group practice in combination with his artistic activities. He is also the co-founder and chairman of origo . ws, a non-profit organization with a focus in West Africa, which has fed and founded the inspiration for his visual work. In 2020, Filip decided to focus full-time on his passion and founded ATELIER LEDURE together with his son. Filip and Victor share a passion for design, materials and craftsmanship but each have their own area of expertise. Filip has more than 24 years of expertise in manufacturing large-scale ceramic work, Victor likes to experiment with new materials and innovative design methods. They both spent a fair share in inhospitable areas in West Africa and Latin America, and draw their inspiration from these unique and broad parts of the world. Each object of ATELIER LEDURE starts from a clear narrative observed throughout their lives and is handmade by Victor or Filip. ATELIER LEDURE exclusively makes this collection of sculptures, utensils and furniture on demand. Unique pieces not featured in this catalogue are also possible upon request.

About the Maker

Galerie Philia

Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
