Artwork location: France
This steel sculpture has been exposed to the natural elements for over a year and time has transformed it.
This artwork, representing a cube with oxidized nuances, is distinguished by its industrial aesthetic and captivating textures. The cube, rigorously formed, relies on the apparent geometric simplicity to highlight the complexity of its surfaces. The edges are slightly accentuated, giving the object a subtle and structured definition. Each face of the cube exhibits a skillfully mastered patina, mixing touches of rust and verdigris, evoking the raw and organic beauty of natural corrosion.
The marriage of earthy and turquoise hues gives the sculpture a dimension that is both vibrant and serene. This interplay of colors, obtained through a process of natural oxidation, creates an irregular and textured surface that attracts the eye and invites the touch. The work illustrates a bold exploration of materials and time, giving off a timeless aura, which invites reflection on permanence and the ephemeral.
With its apparent robustness and delicately aged surface, this cube presents itself not only as a sculpture, but also as a visual metaphor for transformation and the impact of the passage of time on matter.
About the seller
Professional art gallery • France
Vetted Seller
I am a French artist, Breton, exiled for a long time in the United States, fascinated by the raw and fragile side of rust on metal. Creating works of art in rusted steel allows me to express beauty in imperfection and to capture the passage of time. Rust reveals the natural transformation of metal under the effect of the elements — rain, air, sun — and this evolution embodies a form of visual poetry, unpredictable and alive. I use nature as an assistant, letting the materials evolve spontaneously and create unique textures, hues and shapes over several months, even years. What begins as a dialogue between nature and steel, becomes a conversation between 3 when I intervene in the process. Time is also my ally and plays the role of craftsman. Rust evokes decadence, memory, the passing of time and creates a visual dialogue between past and present. It invites us to reflect on transformation, resilience and the relationship between man, time and nature.
My cubes, impregnated with sea air, are bathed in Breton waters. Using no oxide, each centimeter of rusted metal carries within it the memory of cliffs beaten by waves, the roughness and erosion of the coasts, the misty moors and the endless tides. Which adds a narrative dimension to the work.
My creative space, the seaside, is limitless, changing every day with the tides, the light and the wind. It offers me a singular and inexhaustible source of inspiration. This territory is more than just a setting for my art; it is its essence. Nature itself is an integral part of my works.
