Sculptures:
An art of space and time, full of physicality, with sculpture Lepine embarks upon a philosophical voyage of discovery guided by the light of the Greco-Roman masters. Lepine allows but one theme for art: the journey of the individual through himself. In this odyssey of self-discovery through the other, the ritual, and the themes of tradition and time, all takes place.

LA VOCE DEL TEMPO
-a sculptural play-
Through fractures, cracks and marks of destruction, the hands in this collection show the material fragility of the human subject, but also its creative power. Inspired by the composition Malgré Tout by Manuel M Ponce, this collection brings together sorrow and strength.
La Voce del Tempo is a sculptural play presented to the public for the first time on November 11, 2025, at Palazzo Boncompagni, 8 Via del Monte, Bologna. It is a quasi-dramatic monologue, or rather a schizophrenic monologue. The Cumaean Sibyl (played by Greta Patrignani), leads the viewer along the path of history to speak with Cassandra and Daedalus on a journey through the centuries and mythology. Chronos unites the characters in this spectacle. The common thread is time, the author of all torments.
Word to Form (Book)
2023
The year 2023 saw the publication of Word to Form, a Gesamstkunstwerk of sculpture, photography, prose, and poetry that seeks to challenge the expectations of an art catalogue. The eighteen sculptures present in Ian Charles Lepine's first cycle of works appear accompanied by fragments in prose and verse that either inspire or were inspired by them.
A catalogue poétique rather than a catalogue raisonné, this book (available now in hardcover) offers an invaluable insight into the connection between the arts.
