About the Item

The wind comes up is a bronze sculpture by contemporary artist Romain Langlois, dimensions are 64 × 128 × 40 cm (25.2 × 50.4 × 15.7 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 dimensions are those of the sculpture on the base. The sculpture is placed on a polished stainless steel base and can be easily detached from it. Dimensions of the sculpture : 29 H x 128 L × 39 D cm (11.4 × 50.3 × 15.3 in). Dimensions of the base including the rods: 35 H x 60 L x 40 D cm (13.7 × 23.6 × 15.7 in) This bronze sculpture depicts a severed branch from a plane tree. Crafted entirely in bronze, the work features a patina that closely mimics the appearance of natural bark, while certain sections are hollowed out and polished to reveal a striking golden finish. The artist has achieved an impressively lifelike rendering of tree bark. The textures emerge from the casting process, and the rich coloration is the result of carefully applied patinas. By altering this otherwise ordinary object, Romain Langlois transforms it—imbuing it with a rare and precious quality that both captivates and challenges our perception. Romain Langlois is widely recognized for his distinctive bronze sculptures, which often resemble stone or wood. Yet his practice goes beyond technical mastery: by replicating elements sourced from nature, he infuses them with poetic resonance, elevating the mundane to something exceptional. His works are included in significant art collections (Matmut, Fondation Bullukian) and have been exhibited in renowned institutions such as the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris, 2017). They are also the focus of major international commissions.
