About this artwork
THE LITTLE CALLIPYGE
blue patinated bronze
A torso half woman and half scarab
This metamorphosis was inspired by the artist by analogies between the body of a lying woman and a beetle called the cetoine.
The artist was inspired by memories of childhood (collections of beetles) and stays in Latin America (pre-Columbian art)
Founder: Avangini

« I am looking for a work that will surpass the previous ones while being able to suggest an array of emotions and stay alive despite the action of time. »
Bernard Métranve is an award-winning French sculptor who has exhibited in Belgium, Luxembourg and France. Métranve works are now abstract, but what links the different methods, techniques and themes explored throughout his artistic career is the search for harmony and the purity of lines. His bronze works begin with modelling the piece in clay, from which he then makes a wax impression that is sent to a foundry. Lastly, he controls the cast iron, carving and patina of the composition.
