A more personal and assertive approach, a visual power enhanced by an evolution of the artist signature finish. Wild is the image of a free spirit fleeing from a seemingly self-centered society. The latter is represented by the circular shape of the sculpture, illustrating the notions of cycles and inertia.

Three entities, gilded with copper leaf, refer to the notion of appearing superficial individualities.

This image is reinforced by the work of gilding (surface finishing) and the use of copper leaf (here being an imitation of the gold leaf). They find themselves engulfed as prisoners of society, all gravitating around the same center. The free spirit, symbolized by a piece of raw oak, comes out of this set. It creates a rupture of the circle, rising above the rest of the sculpture, thus asserting itself by the power of its will. The visual force is reinforced by the work of the shades of the signature finish, leaving a trail, a explosion in its path. The work is carved and finished entirely by hand in the artists workshop in Southern France. The Wild has been created in exclusivity for Galerie Sors.
