Thinker, head and hand with brain with gears and symbols of brain activity areas. Paumelle Foundry.
Prise de Tête 3 by Thierry Benenati is a profound exploration of the human mind, frozen in a sculpture that seems to give body to the complexity of thoughts. This bronze work represents a thinker, his head resting on one hand, deep in thought. What makes this sculpture truly captivating are the gears and mechanisms that make up the character's head, symbolizing the incessant cogs of thought.
Every detail is worked with remarkable precision: the cogs intertwine, overlap, suggesting that thoughts are both ordered and chaotic, a delicate mechanism that can run away with itself at any moment. The bronze, with its dark and metallic hues, adds a gravity to the work, reflecting the depth of emotions and ideas that seem to bubble inside.
Prise de Tête 3 is not simply a sculpture, but a tangible representation of inner struggle, mental challenges, and the weight of thoughts. It is a work that resonates with anyone who has ever felt the agitation of an overheated mind, capturing that moment when thoughts become a true “headache.”
At €25,000, this sculpture is much more than a decorative object; it is an invitation to delve into the meanders of the human mind, a poignant addition to any collection that values art that challenges and provokes thought.
