NU in casted Bronze by Didier Guillon
NU in casted Bronze by Didier Guillon
Step into the timeless fusion of classical elegance and modern creation with NU—a striking masterpiece by Didier Guillon. Inspired by the Greek bust in Carlo Scarpa's iconic House on the Grand Canal in Venice, this sculptural work bridges two worlds: the revered purity of ancient sculpture and the dynamic sensibilities of contemporary art.
Crafted in bronze using the ancient Egyptian lost wax technique, shaped with bamboo and delicately patinated, NU is a stunning reimagining of classical form through a modern lens. Didier’s sketches, meticulously drawn in pencil on the pages of the New York Times—a nod to his personal connection with both art and history—trace the evolution of the Mediterranean figure. The transition from traditional silhouette to bold, geometric abstraction captures the heart of his creative process.
With NU, Didier Guillon embraces the concept of metamorphosis—transforming classical lines into fluid, playful geometry that speaks to the spirit of modern art. This sculpture invites us to reflect and evolve, offering a conversation between the past and the future.
A masterpiece that embodies both the rigor of history and the freedom of contemporary expression, NU is more than a sculpture—it's a celebration of transformation.
