Silver bronze, 4/8
Greyhound racing, in action. Surreal interpretation of hillclimb. Porsche commission. marble.
Competition Greyhound by Thierry Benenati is an ode to speed, power and the perfect fusion between nature and mechanics. This greyhound, magnificently sculpted in silvered bronze, embodies the quintessence of dynamic elegance. Launched into a frantic race, every muscle, every fiber of its being seems animated 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 manages to capture the very essence of speed and competition in this sculpture, while also posing a subtle question about the future of evolution. Competing Greyhound is not only a representation of a majestic animal, but a reflection on the possible alliance between man, machine, and nature.
At €58,000, this work of art is a valuable acquisition for those looking to own not only an object of beauty, but also a piece that questions and inspires with its vision of the future.
