The contrast between the sobriety of the pose and the impressive size of the work is intriguing. Made of corten, this monumental sculpture evolves in harmony with the oxidation of the material. A temporal and visual dialogue is thus established to the rhythm of the seasons.

The contrast between the sobriety of the pose and the impressive size of this work is both thought-provoking and appealing. The sculpture depicts an imposing buffalo, majestically frozen in a simple yet powerful posture, emphasizing the animal’s brute strength and serenity. This visual paradox, combined with the monumental size of the piece, creates a captivating presence and an aura of mystery.

Made from corten, a corrosion-resistant steel, the sculpture undergoes a natural transformation over time. Corten develops a characteristic patina, a protective layer of rust that evolves according to climatic conditions. As a result, the sculpture is never quite the same from one season to the next. This oxidation process lends a temporal and organic dimension to the work, establishing a perpetual dialogue between art and nature. With each change of season, the sculpture takes on new nuances, enriching the visual experience of observers.

This temporal and visual dialogue is thus established to the rhythm of the seasons, reminding us of the deep connection between the work and its environment. The patina of the corten, which changes from orange-brown to darker shades, symbolizes the cycle of life and the passage of time. Visitors/viewers never find the same sculpture again. It’s a perpetual visual experience.

What’s more, “the buffalo” sculpture’s monumentality and materiality invite meditative contemplation. Its imposing presence in public or natural spaces imposes a pause in time, a moment of reflection on the coexistence of strength and fragility, permanence and transformation. Each glance at this work is an invitation to explore the multiple facets of time, matter and existence.

In short, this buffalo sculpture, with its sober pose and impressive size, its evolving material and harmonious integration into the natural cycle, is much more than just a decorative sculpture. It is a living symbol of the dialogue between man, nature and time, a constant reminder of the beauty that emanates from the inevitable and perpetual transformations of the world around us.

This sculpture can be created in corten, steel, stainless steel or other materials selected for their durability and ability to withstand the elements. Each choice of material offers unique possibilities for shaping and embellishing this work, influencing its texture, color and harmonious integration into its surroundings.

When it comes to finishes, the possibilities are varied and contribute to enriching the aesthetic experience of the work. It could be left in its raw form to emphasize the authenticity of its materials, or coated with an epoxy finish to accentuate its graceful lines while providing lasting protection against the elements. A varnish can also be applied to add a subtle sheen and preserve its original appearance over time.

Its dimensions are completely modifiable. This buffalo sculpture will fit perfectly into a peaceful environment such as an office, a landscaper’s garden or a wildlife park.
