Archimedes, the owl

Archimedes, the owl Ceramic, bronze patina, 28x17x34cm, 4.2kg Arnaud Quercy Creations / AQC0514 / 2024 The sculpture is a cubist rendition of an owl, characterized by smooth, curvilinear forms and stylized features that evoke the likeness of the bird in a non-literal manner. The patina gives the piece an aged, metallic appearance, while the play of light and shadow on the sculpture’s surface accentuates its three-dimensional form. The title ‘Archimedes’ suggests an inspiration or tribute to the ancient Greek mathematician and inventor, or most likely, the famous owl in th Disney movie, alluding to the wisdom and observational prowess owls are traditionally known to represent.
