Shake it all off with me (new varnish patina), 2026

Marc De Corte  

Marc de Corte's "Shake it all off with me" is much more than a sculpture — it is a moment of awakening, captured in all its truth.

A feminine figure, both graceful and powerful, rises delicately on tiptoe, suspended between earth and sky. Her body opens in a gesture of liberation, her arms outstretched, her face turned toward the light—like a peaceful surrender, imbued with absolute trust in the flow of life. There is in this posture a silent strength, a luminous courage: the courage to let go, to fully embrace, to reveal oneself.

This edition is all the more remarkable for its polished bronze finish, enhanced by a glossy varnish. This treatment lends the work a decidedly contemporary dimension: the bronze loses its usual density to become light, almost vibrant, capturing the light and interacting with its surroundings. As the hours pass, the sculpture evolves, transforms, and radiates.

The light caresses the curves of the body, revealing its sensuality and fluidity. One has the feeling that it absorbs the energy of the world in order to better give it back — a living, almost breathing presence.

Marc de Corte manages here to translate an inner state with rare precision: that precise moment when one lets go, when one opens oneself to a profound freedom. A deeply contemporary work, yet one whose emotional resonance is universal.

For a collector, it's not simply a work to contemplate, but an inspiring presence in everyday life. A sculpture that doesn't just inhabit a space, but elevates it and breathes life into it.
