Jean Dubuffet often used unconventional materials to create his sculptures, including found objects, concrete, and various mixed media. He was known for incorporating elements like tar, sand, and even industrial materials to challenge traditional notions of art. His approach emphasized texture and form, reflecting his interest in the raw and unrefined aspects of creativity. Dubuffet aimed to break away from the norms of fine art, celebrating the ordinary and the outsider's perspective.
He probably carved large plaster or clay sculptures and then made a clay mold to create the final resin cast.

Jean Dubuffet often created models for his large-scale resin sculptures using smaller, more manageable materials like plaster or clay. These models allowed him to experiment with forms and textures before committing to the larger pieces. His approach emphasized spontaneity and the raw, tactile qualities of the materials, reflecting his interest in art that challenged traditional aesthetics. The models served as a crucial step in translating his imaginative concepts into monumental works of art.
