From Paris to Provence, after spending several years as an artistic director in the world of men’s fashion, Vincent Schoepfer gradually shifted toward a more instinctive and hands-on approach to creation. In 2019, he made a decisive shift by devoting himself fully to ceramics and sculpture, finding in working with clay a realm of exploration that is both sensitive and timeless.

Now based in La Roque-d’Anthéron, in the heart of Provence on the banks of the Durance River, he has developed a visual language that blends ancient heritage with contemporary sensibilities. Reimagined amphorae, sculptural heads, fragmented forms, and totemic volumes come together to create a world that seems to emerge from an undefined time, somewhere between an imaginary relic and a contemporary creation.

Material plays a central role in his approach. Stoneware, which he particularly favors for its mineral and sensual quality, is shaped, carved, or glazed with a special focus on textures, contrasts, and light. Rough surfaces are juxtaposed with satin or glossy glazes, creating a balance between formal precision and spontaneous expression.
