Artist

  • Michel Anasse


This unique sculpture by Michel Anasse embodies the artist's free and expressive universe with poetry and humor.

The figure, with its ovoid body and outstretched arms, features a head crowned with spikes reminiscent of a solar mane. The raw treatment of the material, characteristic of Anasse's work, lends the piece an organic, almost primitive vitality. The figure's stance-half playful, half inquisitive-reveals the artist's deep interest in the human form, interpreted with great freedom.

Made of hammered and welded iron, the piece shows slight traces of rust.

The piece is unsigned.
