With its airy elegance, Red Pheasant is a sculpture where raw material is transformed into delicacy.
Laurence Van Baren crafts this majestic bird from wire, chicken wire, and plaster, giving it a vibrant and light presence. Natural feathers complete the illusion, giving this work a striking touch of realism. Perched on a simple pebble, the pheasant seems ready to take flight, suspended between earth and sky.
Through this interplay between metallic structure and the fragility of life, the artist captures the movement and grace of a frozen moment, an ode to the wild beauty and poetry of nature.
