Sliced Motion: Automotive Sculptures by Antoine Dufilho

French artist Antoine Dufilho transforms classic automotive silhouettes into layered sculptures that seem to be in motion even while standing still. Crafted from a succession of precisely cut plates, each car is reduced to a sequence of slices that exposes its internal rhythm as much as its outer form, sitting somewhere between anatomy and aerodynamics.

His practice has roots in three disciplines: a childhood spent around art and his great-uncle’s Bugatti collection, a background in medicine that taught him to read the body as a layered structure, and later architectural studies that focused his eye on the interplay of frame and void. That combination is evident in these works, where the body of each car is treated almost like a dissected frame, alternating solid and empty sections to reveal a skeletal construction. Chrome wheels and mirrored bases sharpen the contrast, while the spacing between layers creates shifting optical effects as you move around each piece.
