About this artwork
The artist has drawn a parallel here between the fate of the river and that of human beings. The birth of the source and the disappearance of the river in the ocean are as mysterious as the human adventure. The cry of man is reminiscent of the murmur or rumbling of water. Water ripples are part of the construction of the face.

« 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.
