Bernard was born in February the 2nd, 1947. From his young age, he tried several technicals : drawing, painting, sculpture; concerned about the representation of the details and the will to cause emotion.
Arnaud was born in October the 26th, 1971. After an art activity (copying from italian and french sanguine of the 17th and 18th centuries), he worked during several years in the famous Chapon Foundry in Paris. He learned the know-how of the art casting, and the new technicals to work with.
During a long journey, Bernard and Arnaud went through Africa, in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South of Africa and Botswana, to catch animals’ expression. When they came back, they worked on their « Bestiaire », which was a set of animal sculptures. They worked together enjoying their art and technical complementarity, and sometimes working with Arnaud’s sister, Elise.
Despite their humility, they are rapidely well-known in the art market, and contacted by celebrities and experts.

Winged David (Bronze), ex. Daniel Glaser Estate (New Orleans)

Located in New Orleans, LA

This came out of a collection of neoclassical grand tour souvenirs, owned by collector Daniel Glaser of New Orleans, Louisiana (from his estate). Back in the day, wealthy travelers in Europe often purchased sculptures and other mementos of the sites they visited. We have several other pieces from this collection in addition to this, including "Discobolus" and a fine gladiator with lance. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art...
