Description

This captivating sculpture, carved from Languedoc red marble, depicts a finely sculpted crab. The meticulous details of its carapace accentuate a striking relief effect, bringing the work to life. The crab's claws are boldly sculpted, capturing the realism and power of this marine animal. The polished texture of the stone enhances the chromatic variations, evoking the subtle nuances of the seabed. This piece masterfully combines technique and artistic creativity, making this crab a unique representation of aquatic life. The balance of proportions and the exquisite detail make this work captivating, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in a world where art and nature converge harmoniously. This sculpture is a celebration of the raw and authentic beauty of marine life, embodied in exquisitely crafted stone.

Iris Vargas

France  • 1953

Presentation

Born in 1953 in the Venezuelan Andes, Iris Vargas studied at the School of Anthropology in Venezuela and the National School of Fine Arts in Caracas and Paris. She has lived and worked in the Paris region since 1979.

She sculpts marble and all kinds of stone directly, developing movement and contrast. Women are her favourite subject. Since 1991, her exploration of materials has led her to develop a personal style, which she calls 'Marbres Sauvages' (Wild Marbles). In this style, she creates a rhythm between the stability of the structures and the ingenious arrangement of mobile variations.

Thanks to her knowledge of stone, Iris Vargas has been called upon to participate in the restoration of historic monuments such as the Louvre, Les Invalides and the National Archives.

She exhibits regularly in France, at the Carrousel du Louvre, the Salon d'Automne, and the Jardin du Luxembourg, as well as abroad in Heidelberg, Germany, Switzerland, the Salon d'Automne, and XIAN in China. She has been listed in the Bénezit catalogue since 1999.
