Artist’s Decade-Worth of Sculptures Imagine Ordinary Objects Colorfully Reclaimed by Nature

By Jessica Stewart on September 22, 2025

French artist Stéphanie Kilgast is known for her creative sculptures that transform ordinary objects into works of art. Through her work, books, cups, old cameras, and everything in between become the base for colorful nature-based sculptures. And now, Kilgast has gathered her best work from the past decade into a book titled Utopia.

Now available for pre-order, Utopia showcases 10 years of Kilgast’s sculpture, along with paintings and sketches for a fascinating look inside her creative process. With artworks grouped into themes like growth, overconsumption, trash, and insects, readers can quickly view the breadth and depth of Kilgast’s ouevre. For those who love to see how artists evolve, a complete chronological look at her sculptures and paintings is at the back of the book, providing an easy way to see Kilgast’s stylistic development.

The bilingual book is written in both French and English with a foreword written by surrealist sculptor Ellen Jewett. With layouts that show how Kilgast’s sculptures evolve, from initial sketch and color selection to final product, the book is a must-have for any fan of her artwork.

The book, which is available for pre-order on DashBook, will only be published if 150 copies are ordered. If you want to show your support, place your order before October 4 to ensure that Utopia is published.
