Gilded bronze with black patina, N°2/8.

This gilded bronze sculpture with black patina represents a heron in a semi‑figurative style. The elongated form of the bird and the extension of the beak create a dynamic silhouette that evokes movement and the attentive presence of the heron. The contrast between the golden surface and the dark patina highlights the refinement of the lines and gives the piece a strong decorative dimension.

The artist  

Benoît Fleury develops a body of work centred on animal representation and on the search for a balance between abstraction and figuration. His practice combines mastery of modelling, a strong sense of material and an exploration of volumes. His sculptures favour a plastic language that emphasises the inner tension of forms and the relationship between light and texture.

Decorative dimension  

The verticality of the composition, the purity of the lines and the interplay between gilded bronze and black patina allow this sculpture to structure a space with elegance. The piece creates a natural focal point in a living room, an office or an entrance. The golden reflections accompany ambient light and reinforce the presence of the heron, which facilitates its integration into contemporary interiors.

Materials and technique  

The sculpture is made of gilded bronze with a black patina that accentuates areas of tension and transitions in the modelling. The casting and finishing work enhance the contrasts between smooth surfaces and textured zones. The base ensures stable presentation and a harmonious enhancement of the verticality of the piece.
