Ivo goes Up by Didier Guillon-1

Introducing the IVO Gorilla sculpture – an exceptional fusion of artistry, craftsmanship, and storytelling, crafted to captivate the senses and inspire awe. This exclusive masterpiece by the visionary artist Didier Guillon draws its essence from the tranquil beauty of Venice, Italy, and the serene island of Pellestrina. Through this breathtaking creation, Guillon invites you to witness a journey of transformation, as the majestic gorilla ascends towards the infinite horizon—a symbol of both artistic and personal elevation.

Each sculpture is meticulously crafted from clay, shaped into a powerful gorilla figure, then cast in gold-plated brass using the traditional sand-casting technique at the historic Valese Foundry—Venice’s oldest and most revered foundry, established in 1913. This craftsmanship blends the heritage of Venetian artisanship with modern artistic vision, ensuring a piece that is as timeless as it is innovative.

The IVO Gorilla sculpture is part of an exclusive limited edition of only 8 pieces, with 2 artist’s proofs, each signed by Didier Guillon. This exclusivity adds a rare collectible value, making this artwork a treasure to pass down through generations.

Bringing the IVO Gorilla sculpture into your collection means embracing not just a piece of art, but a narrative that combines nature, imagination, and craftsmanship. It’s a statement of your own ascent, a reminder of the boundless potential within, and a unique addition to any art collection.
