RHINOCEROS 13-26
Steel and bronze metal lace sculpture

A primal force carved in air and matter

This Rhinoceros is a powerful and sensitive sculpture, where the animal’s mass dissolves into an openwork metal lace. Made of steel and bronze, this sculpture plays on contrasts between sturdiness and lightness, solid and void, raw material and delicacy of the gesture.

A modern sculpture between strength and frailty

An emblematic creature of power and endurance, the rhinoceros is here reimagined in an airy sculptural style. The body is made of a network of molten metal revealing openings that give the whole an astonishing visual lightness.

The steel brings solidity and depth, while the bronze highlights the surface with warm and vibrant gleams. Every roughness, every hole, every relief tells the work of fire and hand, making each piece unique.

Metal lace: a unique technique

The sculpture is made using the metal lace technique.
It involves working molten metal to create an openwork, almost living structure, where the material seems to float.

This process gives rise to works that are both strong and poetic, where light flows freely through the sculpture, changing its appearance depending on the viewing angle.
