Charles SERRUYA French, b. 1950
17 3/4 x 11 3/4 in
FR : Allongé, pattes avant tendues, un sphinx au visage de femme coiffé et paré de perles se dessine d'un fil d'acier argenté. Avec Le Sphinx de Marie-Antoinette, Charles Serruya revisite avec élégance les sphinges qui ornaient les jardins et les décors du XVIIIe siècle : un « dessin d'acier » raffiné, qui joue avec la lumière et projette une ombre délicate.
Acier 2 mm, 45 x 30 cm (17 3/4 x 11 3/4 in), 2016. Pièce unique. Une œuvre précieuse, entre art décoratif et poésie.
EN : Lying down with front paws outstretched, a sphinx with a woman's face, styled hair and pearls is drawn in silvery steel wire. With Le Sphinx de Marie-Antoinette (Marie-Antoinette's Sphinx), Charles Serruya elegantly revisits the sphinxes that adorned 18th-century gardens and interiors: a refined "steel drawing" that plays with light and casts a delicate shadow.
2 mm steel, 45 x 30 cm (17 3/4 x 11 3/4 in), 2016. Unique piece. A precious work, between decorative art and poetry.
