Description
Original sculpture by ALAIN MANDON. Signed.
This beautifully bold artwork is a contemporary sculpture imbued with powerful symbolism. The female torso, richly gilded, features an irregular and rough texture that immediately catches the eye. The shiny, golden surface evokes a fusion between rawness and refinement, symbolizing a femininity that is both strong and precious. The abstract shape of the sculpture captures the curves and silhouette of a female torso while leaving room for interpretation by the viewer. Every detail, from the soft, rounded contours of the chest to the striking lines of the trunk, is meticulously crafted, showcasing the artist's great technical mastery.
The juxtaposition of cold metal and the warmth of the golden color offers a striking contrast, enriching the piece with a tactile and visual dimension. The transparent base on which the sculpture rests ensures a flawless display, giving the impression that the piece is floating, creating an aura of lightness despite the massive appearance of the material. The reflection of light on the golden material brings the piece to life and lends it an intriguing dynamism, captivating the observer from different angles.
In short, this sculpture is not only an aesthetic representation but a statement on the strength and timeless beauty of the female body, encapsulated in a design that is both modern and timeless.
Presentation
Alain Mandon presents himself as a self-taught artist. First a painter and then a sculptor, he created his first sculpture 5 years ago now, driven by his wife's breast cancer (ablation then breast reconstruction). Unable to accept himself in his new physique, he creates a first bust made from the molding of her body, wishing to show her her beauty in broad daylight. A first success both psychologically for his wife and artistically, which will consolidate him to realize other pieces with this technique.
Since then, he has devoted a large part of his work to the creation of sculpted busts representing fragments of almost essentially female bodies. Working from real models, he first makes a plaster cast and then uses it to shape his sculptures in the projection of molten tin.
Alain Mandon is particularly attracted by the raw aspect of materials such as pigments, sand, resin, concrete, but also metal in general and pewter in particular, which over time has become his favorite material. The artist will work with the material in such a way as to give them an uneven effect as if they had been eaten away by time, which gives an almost antique aspect to his sculptures, like relics that have survived the centuries.
