Skull of a taut male with pressure gauges in the brain. The steel original is owned by Mr. Gérard Depardieu. Bronze 2/8.
Thierry Benenati's Stress is a striking work that explores tension and inner pressure through a modern interpretation of a human skull. This skull, inspired by the Tautavel Man, is cast in bronze with a rough surface that captures the raw, primitive essence of humanity. Embedded in the skull cap are a series of pressure gauges that testify to the accumulated pressure, symbolizing the omnipresent stress of modern life. Each gauge appears ready to explode, reflecting the invisible weight of responsibilities and emotions.
What makes this work even more remarkable is its steel original, which belongs to Mr. Gérard Depardieu, the illustrious French actor. The steel version, with its industrial sheen and visual power, gives the sculpture a special aura, enhancing its symbolism and emotional impact.
At €37,000, Stress in bronze is much more than a simple sculpture: it is a masterpiece for any collector or contemporary art enthusiast. It captures the complexity of the human mind under pressure, offering a poignant reflection on the nature of stress in our world today. To own this work is not only to acquire a masterpiece of art, but also a piece that carries with it the influence and recognition of a major cultural figure.
This sculpture is for those seeking a work of art that speaks to both the heart and the mind, a piece that questions and inspires, reflecting the complexity of human emotions in an ever-changing world.
