Artwork location: France

The sculpture presented is a work made of bronze, representing a human figure in a posture of contemplation. The body of the sculpture is curved forward, embracing a harmonious form and remarkable fluidity, illustrating both a feeling of vulnerability and inner strength. Each anatomical detail is carefully shaped, highlighting the technical virtuosity of the artist. The surface of the bronze, patinated with deep hues, subtly captures the light, accentuating the graceful curves of the silhouette. This texture gives the work an impression of movement and life, despite its apparent immobility. The attention paid to the finishing of the sculpture testifies to an exceptional mastery of the medium, revealing a palpable interiority and a keen artistic sensitivity. What distinguishes this work is its bold exploration of bodily limits, symbolizing both meditation and introspection. The prostrate position of the body, almost embryonic, evokes a deep connection with the earth, while aspiring to a spiritual elevation. This dichotomy between gravity and lightness, anchoring and elevation, gives this sculpture a universal and timeless resonance. Thus, this work is not simply a static representation; it engages viewers in a reflection on the balance between physical form and emotional experience, capturing the essence of the human condition with rare intensity.

Presentation

Benjamin Georgeaud is a French sculptor born in 1980. He discovered sculpture on his first trip to Florence at the age of 15. After graduating from high school, he devoted himself fully to his art. Benjamin Georgeaud's artistic training is a unique patchwork of experiences. He attended the workshops of Zoltan Zsako and took modeling and drawing classes at the Beaux-Arts evening classes of the Paris town hall. This hybrid training testifies to his determination and commitment to mastering his art. 

In 2002, he exhibited his work for the first time to the general public at the Salon des Artistes du XVe arrondissement de Paris, where he was awarded the Prix Spécial du Jury. Since then, Benjamin Georgeaud has set up his own studio in Paris and has been based in Montreuil since 2010. 

He is renowned for his portraits, bas-reliefs and sculptures on the theme of the circus. His works, often highly evocative, convey a blend of strength and elegance. In 2009, he was awarded the "Géant des Beaux-Arts" prize for his bronze sculpture entitled "La douleur de Nausicaa" at the Salon d'automne in Paris. In 2012, he was awarded the Bronze Medal of the Société des Artistes Français at the Grand Palais. Benjamin Georgeaud is also the official creator of the trophy for the Festival International de Cirque de Viège in Switzerland.
