NU in patinated steel by Didier Guillon

Discover NU, a sculptural masterpiece by Didier Guillon, inspired by the timeless Greek bust in Carlo Scarpa's House on the Grand Canal in Venice. This piece reimagines classical sculpture through a fusion of ancient purity and contemporary audacity. Crafted from patinated steel, NU engages in a visual dialogue between two distinct eras—the minimalist geometry and form of Scarpa, and the hyper-realist classicism of Jeff Koons' Apollo Kithare.

In collaboration with artist Carles Valverde, this piece evolves from pencil sketches on the pages of the New York Times to a geometric masterpiece, where each segment of the body—except for the welded pectorals—forms a separate part of a three-dimensional puzzle. The final work encapsulates the raw power of the human form, transforming rigorous lines into playful, dynamic shapes, reflecting the metamorphosis at the heart of contemporary art.

A unique creation that bridges the classical with the modern.
