About the Item
Holi is a bronze sculpture by contemporary artist Romain Langlois, dimensions are 62 × 24 × 23 cm (24.4 × 9.4 × 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.
Dimensions refer to the sculpture with base. Base dimensions: 1 H x 20 L x 20 D cm (0.4 H × 7.9 L × 7.9 D in). Each sculpture in the edition is unique in its colors, as it is not possible to reproduce the same exact patina.
This bronze sculpture, Holi, represents more than a static figure—it serves as a tribute to the Hindu festival of the same name, to spirituality, and to the vibrancy of life itself. The calm, meditative face, marked by a timeless serenity, echoes the appearance of Indian sâdhus, ascetics devoted to the path of meditation and renunciation. The patina plays a crucial role in the work: its vivid, multicolored tones recall the explosion of pigments that defines Holi, the joyous celebration where color fills the air and covers the skin. On the sculpture's surface, the merging shades bring a lively energy, animating the bronze with movement and life. Merging tradition with a contemporary vision, Holi leads the viewer on a sensory and spiritual exploration, where material and color converge.
Romain Langlois is widely recognized for his singular bronze sculptures, which often take on the appearance of natural materials like rock or wood. But his art extends beyond technical prowess: by replicating elements drawn from nature, he introduces a poetic shift that elevates the ordinary to the realm of the extraordinary. His pieces are held in major art collections (Matmut, Fondation Bullukian) and have been exhibited in institutions such as the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris, 2017). They have also been the focus of high-profile international commissions.

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.’’
