Sculpture of a chess knight. Available from March 2024. Pre-order now. The sculpture of the rider embodies a fusion between the majestic strength of this animal and the timeless elegance of a chess piece. By choosing this subject, the artist captured the duality between the raw power and finesse characteristic of the horse. The artist's inspiration is rooted in the balance between nature and strategy of the game of chess. Arson's idea was to create a thought-provoking work, inspiring viewers to explore the complexity of existence through the eyes of a horse, while hinting at the strategy and planning required in the game of chess. The horse sculpture rises like a visual epic, where each curve reveals the essence of the movement captured, in eternity frozen in matter. Arson, in a sublime alliance of technical mastery and inspiration, has created a piece that transcends the simple status of an art object to become sculpted poetry. The strength of the horse is combined with infinite grace. The artist was able to capture the duality of life, capturing the moment where raw vigor meets eternal elegance. Inspiration draws from the majestic nature of the horse and the relentless strategy of chess. An epic symbiosis is established, where each line and hollow are so many metaphors, inviting the observer to dive into a visual story where beauty becomes a quest for profound truth. The emotions, through this work, resonate like a timeless song. Contemplation in the face of equine grandeur, admiration in front of the artist's virtuosity and meditation on the mysteries of life intertwine in an emotional whirlwind. This sculpture, like a revealed enigma, transcends the simple material to become an exhilarating sensory and intellectual experience. This sculpture is made of resin. Color according to palette or RAL at your request. Dimensions: approx. High. 2m x 0.90m x 0.30m.

About the seller

France  • 1953

Presentation

Born in Paris in 1953, descended from a family from Nice, Arson is a libertarian and transgressive artist. Trained at the Beaux-Arts from the age of 16, he explored painting, architecture, pottery, and sculpture before forging a unique signature, marked by a bold sensuality.

A lover of women, whom he sees as a path to the absolute, Arson celebrates their forms with a fetishistic and poetic gaze. His works, inspired by Duchamp's Dadaism and Magritte's Surrealism, invite us to go beyond appearances. As he says of his Esculmau: "This is not a mirror, nor an ass, it is an Esculmau."

Provocative and anarchist, Arson sculpts raw and decorative pieces that defy taboos and unleash the imagination. His creations, driven by a passion for materials and a reflection on femininity, disrupt the codes of an overly consensual world. In his work, form reveals substance, offering a visual poetry that shakes and amazes.
