Delphine Grandvaux
"Soma II", Black Green Lacquered Yellow Metal Hand-Woven Mural Sculpture

2023

About the Item

Titled "Soma II," this sculpture is a three-part work by French sculptor Delphine Grandvaux, intricately hand-woven from black annealed iron wire, green lacquered iron wire, and yellow lacquered iron wire. Drawing inspiration from Soma, the moon deity in modern Hinduism, this artwork embodies a life-giving force with its organic, interconnected shapes that suggest growth and vitality, akin to Soma's role in nurturing plant life In Hindu mythology. The varied sizes of loops and circles distributed across the sculpture create a dynamic sense of rhythm and movement, while the integrated spheres evoke celestial bodies or seeds, symbolizing potential life. This wall-mounted artwork's three parts measure 20.5" x 19.7" x 3.1", 26.8" x 19.7" x 3.5", and 40.5" x 24.4" x 2.8", respectively. The final installed dimensions depend on the collector's arrangement of the parts, offering versatility in presentation. Delphine Grandvaux is renowned for her ability to infuse lightness and airiness into her creations, a testament to her unique artistic method that resonates with the meshing techniques of Ruth Asawa. Her work is characterized by the delicate interplay of metallic threads, occasionally complemented by light materials like wood and wool. Through Grandvaux’s skilled manipulation, these materials are transformed into voluminous, dynamic forms that capture the interplay of light and shadow, creating pieces that exude poetry, grace, and elegance.
