In the refined setting of the Delta Sky Club Lounge at Boston Logan Airport, French artist Ortaire de Coupigny offers travelers an unexpected visual encounter. Mounted along a lounge wall, his installation of sardine-can sculptures introduces a moment of quiet intrigue within a space defined by movement.
The Art of Ortaire de Coupigny
Each sardine can becomes a sculptural microcosm. Inside, one or more hand-sculpted fish—formed in wax, painted in vivid tones, and encased under clear resin—appear suspended in time. Arranged in a grid, these small-format works combine meticulous detail with a rhythm of repetition, drawing the eye in.
De Coupigny’s approach reflects a deep engagement with material and form. Trained in stained glass at the Ateliers d’Art de la Ville de Paris, he brings to these pieces a sensitivity to transparency, layering, and light. His sardine cans—playful yet precise—reimagine a utilitarian object as a frame for color, gesture, and sculptural presence.
A Thoughtful Interlude
Discreetly placed within the lounge environment, this installation invites a brief pause. For travelers in transit, it offers a thoughtful interlude—where art quietly accompanies the journey. The gallery presents this unique opportunity to experience contemporary art in an unexpected location, enhancing the travel experience.
