Chésade Sculptures
French, b. 1960
French sculptor Chésade mainly draws her inspiration from the animal and marine worlds. Her masterful bronze sculptures are deftly created, with the material enriched by fine detailing and enhanced with a luminous patina. The artist’s works therefore become “tactile landscapes” imbued with her poetic vision and able to convey the animals’ energy and essence. The sculptor has won two medals at the Paris National Maritime Museum Biennial (2009 and 2013) and a gold medal at the French National Animal Artists’ Fair in 2009. In 2012, her body of animal work was honoured when she was awarded the prestigious Sandoz prize.
“For me, sculpting is like “touching life”. It’s not a question of locking life away in an ever- imperfect naturalist imitation, but of having a poetic vision.”to

Fishing for Joy – Sitting, Contemporary Bronze Figure Sculpture
Located in Taichung, TW
Fishing for Joy – Sitting captures the leisurely pleasure of fishing, a pastime that is as much about patience and calm as it is about outsmarting the fish. The figure sits quietly with a hat shading the face, embodying a sense of ease, as if feeling the breeze drift by or perhaps drifting into a light nap. It reflects the essence of fishing not only as a test of patience but also as an experience of slowing down, enjoying nature, and savoring the simple passage of time.
Huang uses varied carving textures to suggest different materials: the rugged irregular surface of the stone contrasts with the subtle gradation on the clothing, evoking the shimmering reflection of water. Cast in bronze using the lost-wax method, the sculpture faithfully preserves the wood grain and tactile quality of the original wooden carving. The surface patina replicates the natural coloration of the original, while the bamboo fishing rod...
