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.

Untitled, Head Of An Artist, Avant-Garde Bronze Sculpture
By Phillip Pavia
Located in Surfside, FL
This is a bronze cast sculpture by Philip Pavia is part of his series of "Imaginary Portraits from the Club" , a one-man exhibition at Max Protetch Gallery, New York in 1982. The approach at rendering the figure is grotesque, and the facial features have been severely distorted to the point were the portrait becomes an abstract interpretation of the subject. As an artist and writer, Philip Pavia was a committed member of the Abstract Art community throughout his long, distinguished career. Pavia was active in the art world until his death in 2005 and received immense critical praise for his artistic and literary contributions. Recognized for his signature work The Ides of March...

Untitled, Head Of An Artist, Avant-Garde Bronze Sculpture
By Phillip Pavia
Located in Surfside, FL
As an artist and writer, Philip Pavia was a committed member of the Abstract Art community throughout his long, distinguished career. Pavia was active in the art world until his death in 2005 and received immense critical praise for his artistic and literary contributions. Recognized for his signature work The Ides of March, he produced monumental pieces that alternated between figurative and abstract styles. While he was a dedicated sculptor, Pavia extended that passion into writing and published It is: A Magazine for Abstract Art. Born in 1911 of Provencal-Italian descent, the Stratford, Connecticut native received early inspiration from his father, a professional stone cutter. Pavia's sculptures are characterized by rough, chiseled bronze and marble, his father's trade was no doubt a significant influence. In fact, by 1934, his father was so enthusiastic about his son's passion that he encouraged young Philip to study at the Academia delle Belle Arti in Florence, Italy. Before his studies in Europe, Pavia was briefly a student at Yale University but quickly dropped out and enrolled at New York's Art Student League. While attending school, he befriended artists Jackson Pollock and Arshile Gorky. All three were to become major players of the vibrant new Abstract Art movement. At his father's advice, Pavia embarked on his European experience and was introduced to other influential artists of his time. Traveling between Italy and Paris, Pavia met John Ferren...
