Oleg - Benjamin Georgeaud
Bronze - 1/8 - 150 x 30 x 10 cm
Oleg , a striking sculpture by Benjamin Georgeaud, illustrates the perfect balance between strength and lightness. This monumental work, an impressive 150 cm high, depicts an acrobat in mid-air, his graceful silhouette defying gravity with astonishing ease.
Sculpted with a precision that reveals every tense muscle, every curve of his athletic body, Oleg embodies the beauty and power of human agility. His body is propped on a single outstretched arm, while the other arm and legs are thrust into the air, reaching for daring heights. The sculpture rests on a narrow, elongated base, reminiscent of an ancient column or tower rising into the air, suggesting the idea of both physical and spiritual ascent.
The sculpture's texture, deliberately raw and rich in detail, adds a dimension of tangible reality to this aerial figure, contrasting with the lightness of its posture. The acrobat appears to float, suspended in time and space, yet firmly anchored to its base. This duality evokes a reflection on the nature of the artist himself: constantly seeking balance, between tradition and innovation, solidity and fragility.
By placing the acrobat in a natural environment, against a green backdrop, Georgeaud creates a silent dialogue between man and nature, between the constructed and organic worlds. Oleg thus becomes a symbol of man's intrinsic connection with his environment, a tribute to perseverance, rigorous training, and the endless pursuit of excellence.
This majestic sculpture is a must-have addition for any collector looking to enrich their space with a work that not only captures the eye, but also inspires profound reflection on the beauty of human movement and the strength of will. Oleg is more than a sculpture; it is an invitation to meditate on the heights the human spirit can reach, sustained by discipline, ambition, and artistry.
