Yann Guillon
Black Torso by Yann Guillon - Contemporary Marble Sculpture

2002

About the Item

Black torso is a sculpture by French contemporary artist Yann Guillon. This artwork is signed and sold with a wooden base. Dimensions of the sculpture: 25 x 21 x 9 cm (9.8 × 8.2 × 3.5 in) Dimensions of the base: 7 x 17 x 12 cm (2.7 × 6.7 × 4.7 in) Total height of the sculpture with the base and shaft: 37 cm (14.5 in) Alabaster, marble, bronze… Yann Guillon works with a variety of techniques and materials in his series Busts and Torsos to portray the male and female form. His artistic process includes both direct carving and ventures into abstraction, enabling him to experiment with different sculptural languages and explore new forms. The artist captures both the anatomical strength and the elegance of lines, curves, and volumes. Many of his sculptures maintain a raw, unfinished quality, preserving the immediacy and energy of the creative gesture. The human figure stands at the heart of Yann Guillon’s artistic exploration. In these bodies caught in moments of intense physical exertion—often athletes or dancers—he emphasizes torsion and tension, inviting the viewer to witness the dynamic force at play. Through this energy, the bronze figures convey something of the enigma and grace that reside in every human being.

It is in excellent, like-new, condition. Shipping price includes the custom packing necessary for safe transport of fine art. Chapel, 1948-2021, Artist's Statement: “I was raised on the Western Slope of Colorado, with almost unfettered access to the American wilderness. I currently reside on a sailboat in Oakland, CA with my studio in nearby San Leandro. I work with permanent materials including bronze, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, glass and stone. It is my contention that a work of art must include a complete environment, not just a single object. In my opinion, it is very difficult to convey meaning with either pure abstraction, or pure representation. Describing an abstract concept with another abstraction does not define the subject. There is nothing in a completely non-objective artwork from the viewers experience upon which to base some meaning. One the other hand, a completely realistic presentation doesn't define an abstraction any better than a dictionary. This is why my sculpture is a blend - the symbolic joining of modern man with primitive experience. They are in-depth studies of the archetypes and symbols used to communicate their relevance to our everyday lives. Mythology, poetry and art are humanity's attempt to describe the mysteries of life which are beyond our ability to consciously comprehend. This is the appeal of the visual arts, poetry, literature and music; they excite an emotional response, or memory that transcends mere words.” - Ron Chapel...
