About this artwork
This white bird was magnificent before its encounter with the oil slick left in the sea when the oil tanker Erika sank. No matter how hard he struggled, he only covered himself a little more each time with this dark and viscous matter which would end up killing him.
This sculpture that you can modify as much as you like, would like to show, for the record, the pangs endured by the poor animal ... We could use a very beautiful wood (of Wenge), polish… it, wax it, we will not be able to resuscitate him ...
In your manipulations, be careful not to prick your hands at the very pointed ends sometimes, nor get your eyes too close! Keep children away as much as possible!

« "With the modularity of my sculptures, the spectator/collector is no longer just "looking". They become actors. I wrote the score, they become my interpreters." »
Jean Paul Boyer’s sculptures have been exhibited throughout his native France, Europe and China. Boyer continuously questions how to work with the air, or the “void”, that surrounds the material of the sculpture. He denies having a style, and allows himself the freedom to delve into all interpretations and techniques. His process starts by fabricating a model with any material he happens to have on hand, then the works evolve using wood, metal, marble, cardboard, etc.
