MARTIN (GUYAUX) - L’ODYSSÉE

SOME CULTURE...

Sculptures in bronze (lost wax technique) 2004

Martin Guyaux himself chose Botanique station as the location to install his work. He sees “L’Odyssée” as a great journey of the sun, which will provoke emotions and dreams. A sense of sight and of touch are all that are needed for this journey. Guyaux considers this work as a solar magma which passes through time and will travel through the two large doors in order to enter another universe. This piece is an enormous solar disc in bronze and two monumental bronze doors.With this work, Martin Guyaux aimed at expressing a horizontal sculpture concept with a vertical destiny. The artist was very much against the use of plinths because according to him they interfere with the sculpture.
