Flight - Benjamin Georgeaud
Bronze - 6/8 - 90 x 60 x 10 cm
With Envol, Benjamin Georgeaud creates a sculpture that embodies freedom, elevation, and human grace. This work, in patinated bronze, captures a moment of perfect suspension, as if the precise moment when the soul is about to leave the earth had been frozen in time. The magnificently sculpted female figure seems to soar toward the unknown, arms outstretched, as if ready to embrace infinity. Her fluid, muscular features bear witness to the inner strength and serenity that transcend physical limitations.
The sculpture's slender, sinuous lines suggest a fluid, continuous movement, a flight imbued with lightness. The balance of the pose, almost aerial, is reinforced by the delicate use of curves that come together in perfect harmony. Georgeaud plays with light and shadow, using patina to accentuate muscles and contours, making the work as vibrant as it is realistic.
Envol is not just a sculpture; it is an invitation to dream, to rise above the constraints of the material world, and to explore the freedom of body and mind. It evokes the human desire to transcend, to free ourselves from the chains that hold us to the ground, while remaining anchored in a tangible and palpable reality. Form and movement intertwine to create a sense of dynamism and energy, while maintaining an inner tranquility.
Ideal for a space that celebrates contemporary art and the beauty of human movement, Envol will bring a majestic and inspiring presence to any art collection. It will encourage viewers to reflect on their own aspirations, their push toward the unknown, and their quest for personal freedom. A powerful work that serves as a reminder of art's ability to capture the essence of the human experience in its purest form.
