Greyhound racing, in action. Surreal interpretation of hillclimbing. Porsche commission. Marble. Silver-plated bronze, 4/8.
Competition Greyhound by Thierry Benenati is an ode to speed, power, and the perfect fusion of nature and mechanics. This greyhound, magnificently sculpted in silver-plated bronze, embodies the quintessence of dynamic elegance. Launched into a frantic race, every muscle, every fiber of its being seems driven by a complex mechanism, a symphony of gears and industrial parts meticulously integrated into its body.
The animal, rendered almost surreal by its mechanical elements, evokes a world where biology and technology coexist in perfect harmony. The polished metal reflects flashes of silver, capturing the light in a way that accentuates the fluidity of movement, as if this mechanical greyhound were ready to leap from its base.
Benenati succeeds in capturing the very essence of speed and competition in this sculpture, while also posing a subtle question about the future of evolution. Competition Greyhound is not only a representation of a majestic animal, but also a reflection on the possible alliance between man, machine, and nature.
At €58,000, this work of art is a valuable acquisition for those seeking to own not only an object of beauty, but also a piece that questions and inspires with its vision of the future.
