Description
Technique: Welded nut sculpture
Certificate: Numbered and engraved and certificate of authenticity signed by the artist
Information:
This steel sculpture, crafted from bolts, reveals a bust that feels both powerful and delicate. A unique piece, it plays with openings that create a lace-like effect, allowing light to pass through and cast subtle shadows. Blending raw strength with airy finesse, it brings industrial material to life.
VYKI creates contemporary figurative sculptures that fuse steel with the human form, designed to provoke immediate reaction and reflection. Drawn to volume, material, and form, he specializes in steel, learning its traditional handling before exploring more artistic, rule-defying approaches.
Through spontaneous imagination, VYKI crafts works that appear both light and intricate. By welding stainless bolts, he transforms cold, industrial steel into lace-like structures, blending rigidity with the softness and fluidity of fabric. His sculptures are experienced in two stages: first by observing the overall form, then by discovering the meticulous detail of each element.
Straddling contemporary art and the human body, VYKI’s creations are both reflective of our own forms and resonant with the spirit of the times.
Presentation
VYKI, whose real name is Maxime Viricel, creates figurative and contemporary sculptures associating steel with the human body. His works aim to provoke reaction, reflection and buy-in at first glance.
Following his passage in several design schools and naturally attracted by the work of volume, materials and their shaping, he focused on steel in particular.
After having learned the handling and the characteristics of steel in a conventional way during his studies, he decided to continue this development in a less limited artistic framework; thus allowing to deviate from certain rules which correspond to the industry.
Thanks to an overflowing and spontaneous imagination, he creates light and complex works, aesthetic and unique!
Steel, a cold and industrial material by definition, gives an impression of lightness thanks to the use of stainless steel nuts welded together. This composition technique gives a lace effect, we find the hard and solid side of the metal associated with the flexibility and softness of a fabric.
Vyki's works can be discovered in two stages, the first being the observation of sculpture and its general forms and the second being the discovery of the composition and the meticulous work done on each piece.
At the crossroads between contemporary art and the human body, Vyki creates works that resemble us and that fit in with the times.
