Sculpture called “Forgeron” (blacksmith)

This sculpture, probably in bronze, depicts a standing man holding tools in his hands, one of which is a compass. The sculpture evokes the craft of blacksmithing. Many artists pay tribute to traditional trades in their work.

To create this type of work, the artist first creates a wax sculpture, from which a plaster cast is made. The metal is then poured into the cast, thus enabling several sculptures to be produced in batches.
