EXCESSIVE REFINEMENT

Friday 23 January – Saturday 14 March 2026


Project Loop is pleased to present Excessive Refinement, the debut solo exhibition by London-based Ivorian-French artist, Camille Provost.

Bringing together a new series of seven sculptural works, this exhibition examines the quiet structures of intimacy, souvenirs and a bittersweet feeling of amnesia.

Exploring the tension between what is revealed and what remains hidden, between restraint and revelation, Excessive Refinement reflects Provost’s ongoing interest in ambiguity, and the layered ways in which memory is constructed. Across the works, surfaces and forms are built through an insistence on refinement: motifs recur, and gestures are repeated until they become a language in their own right; a grammar that feels both abstract and intimate.

This constant return to the same shapes, domestic materials, and to the repeated movements through which each work emerges, becomes a way of holding onto what might otherwise dissolve: an embodied trigger for remembering. In Excessive Refinement, these repeated gestures produce pattern and continuity, forming a quiet structure through which identity can unfold.

This debut marks Provost as an emerging voice with a distinctive sculptural vocabulary, rigorous, tactile and insistent.
