Pierre Yermia
Flight IV by Pierre Yermia - Animal bronze sculpture, bird, green patina

2008

About the Item

Flight IV is a bronze sculpture by French contemporary artist Pierre Yermia, dimensions are 35 × 26 × 23 cm (13.8 × 10.2 × 9.1 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 theme of flight came about during my search for balance." - Pierre Yermia. Here, a vigorous and light outline of the wading bird's graceful movement is provided. With a wide wingspan and an audacious dash, it juts its neck upward while clinging precariously to its long, frail limbs. Its shape has a dynamic quality with opposing rhythms that create an open area and give it an airy feel. Over the past 30 years, Pierre Yermia has created a unique body of work on the contemporary art scene, featuring animal sculpture and female figures. The artist's deeply rooted human and animal figures stand on their fragile legs and rise in slow movement, defying the laws of gravity. Shapes are elongated, frail legs contrast with more massive torsos, heads reduced to essentials throne on long, slender necks.
