Premeditation by Eric Vanel captures the powerful duality of human nature, embodied in a figure both graceful and unsettling. This 61 cm high bronze sculpture evokes both grace and tension, as if suspended in the moment before action. The slender figure, with its finely detailed musculature and textured surface, leans forward in a dynamic, almost precarious posture. The subtle threat of the dagger held in one hand contrasts with the serene, almost contemplative expression of the face, creating a narrative that invites the viewer to reflect on the fine line between thought and action.
