Unique piece 1/1 Republican rooster head with clocks Bronze
With “Tête Coq aux Montres”, Thierry Benenati transforms the iconic French rooster into a mechanical work of art where time becomes a living material. This sculpted bronze, 58 cm high, embodies the strength, precision and symbolic heritage of the rooster, while integrating the complex workings of time, frozen in a moment of eternity.
The rooster, with its open beak and piercing eye, seems ready to announce the dawn of a new era, while its feathers are transformed into a symphony of gears and clock faces. These watches, embedded in the feathers, evoke the inexorable passage of time, but also precision and the art of measurement, celebrating the union between nature and mechanics.
Every detail, from the keen eye of the rooster to the meticulous engravings of the dials, is a demonstration of Benenati’s unrivaled craftsmanship. The contrast between the patinated bronze and the mechanical elements creates a rich visual texture, capturing the attention and evoking both tradition and innovation.
This sculpture, beyond its aesthetic beauty, is a reflection on the passing of time, the persistence of symbols, and the mechanics of life itself. It is a bold work, a tribute to heritage while flirting with the future, which will not fail to arouse fascination and admiration.
