A huge brutalist Steel Totem – Gilbert Ségas, France, 1994
About the Item
This metal sculpture by Gilbert Ségas depicts an anthropomorphic figure with a totemic presence, assembled from old tools. Two large crossed shears form the legs, while pliers and other metallic elements shape the torso and raised arms, suggesting a gesture of power or celebration. The stylized head is crowned by an imposing radiant halo made of metal rods, enhanced with gold leaf, emphasizing its divine or solar aspect. The contrast between the rusted, worn materials and the golden sheen adds depth, reinforcing the piece’s raw, industrial aesthetic. This fusion of sacred symbolism and everyday work tools pays tribute to craftsmen and the transformation of ordinary objects into art. A welded plaque, dated 1994 and signed, further authenticates the piece, anchoring it in the artist’s body of work.
