About the Item
Jericho Mask is a bronze, iron and removable neodymium sculpture by contemporary artist Romain Langlois, dimensions are 56 cm × 23 cm × 25 cm (22 × 9.1 × 9.8 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.
In this sculpture Romain Langlois, is making a reference to the Jericho skull. The skull is highly polished which gives it a golden aspect with glints of light. The substance partially covering it is the neodymium. The use of this material on a diamagnetic surface favours the passage of an attracting magnetic force thus modifying the aspect of the skull.
The original Jericho skull found in Palestine dates back to the 7th century B.C. It is considered to be the earliest piece of anthropomorphic art.
Early works by Romain Langlois from the late 2000s had a figurative aesthetic and emphasized depicting the human body. He surrounded himself with anatomy books, carefully studied them, and used them to further his education and gain technical mastery. These solid foundations gave him the confidence to transition into abstract sculpture, producing a number of rocks and other natural elements that have received genuine acclaim.

Romain Langlois
Romain Langlois has become known for his unique bronze sculptures, to which he gives an appearance of a rock or wood. His work is not limited to this technical virtuosity: by reproducing objects that he takes from nature, he introduces a poetic twist that rises the ordinary to the rank of extraordinary. His artworks are part of major art collections (Matmut, Fondation Bullukian) and they have been exhibited in museums such as the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris, 2017). They are also the subject of ambitious international commissions. “Everything is living, everything is moving, everything is changing. However, life cannot always show its best side; sometimes you have to root it out. This is what I am trying to do with my sculptures, gently, discreetly: to search for the life and expose it to those who are going to view them.’’
