About the Item

The Fisherman’s Hammock is a bronze sculpture by French contemporary artist Marine de Soos, dimensions are 53 × 61 × 58 cm (20.9 × 24 × 22.8 in). The sculpture is signed and numbered, it is part of a limited edition of 8 editions + 4 artist’s proofs, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The "Fisherman" series of bronze sculptures includes this one. This figurative artwork depicts a fishing installation with a net fastened to bamboo poles. Man perched precariously on a framework of shorter poles that leads to the fishing net. As is frequently the case with this artist, this sculpture transports us to distant lands with all of its poetry. a place where day-to-day mundane activities reign supreme. Marine de Soos creates poetic sculptures in bronze, flooded with emotion. She relates true stories and conveys moments of pure joy, rehashed from souvenirs gathered from here and there : the position of a hand, a foot, the tilt of a head… Whatever the starting image an emotion is unequivocally connected : ” I can only work when I am feeling emotional” says the artist who admits not having “a vision of what [she is] going to create.” Her only guide… the emotion and, ultimately, an invitation to take a rare poetic journey which thrusts the viewer into a contemplative state.
