Medium She's Lost Control Pedestal in Cast Bronze by William GuillonHand Sculpted, Dated and SignedDimensions: Ø 24 x H 66 cm (custom dimensions upon request)Materials: Patinated cast bronze, quartzite stoneOne of my first artistic shocks came from Dalí’s Elephants, towering creatures with impossibly thin legs, carrying temples on their backs. That contrast, between weight and fragility, between power and precariousness, never left me.This piece was born from that early fascination. I wanted to push bronze beyond its comfort zone, to stretch it until it seemed ready to break, yet hold just enough strength to stand. No reinforcements, just tension made tangible.The legs are impossibly slender, yet steady. The top feels as if it might float away. Together, they form a sculpture that lives on the edge, between collapse and control.I named this myth She’s Lost Control, after the haunting Joy Division song. It evokes a sense of surrender, of letting go just enough to see what remains standing. This balance, between tension and beauty, fragility and force, is where the piece lives.William GuillonWilliam Guillon’s main influences are strong artistic movements, often dark and filled with modern melancholy. Obsessed with a futuristic dystopic vision, the issues he adresses are always loaded with his attraction for a strong imagery. Beyond his influences, he has always been driven by his love for noble materials, raw materials to work on and embellish without altering them. Always valuing handicraft work, his objects are designed as high quality products, without ever compromising the aesthetics for the easy option.William Guillon has set up his studio with, as a basis, a reflexion around black and darkness. His interest for luminous objects was indeed born of a desire to carve this darkness with light as if it were a pure and precious material. William Guillon’s creations are handmade in France, are all available in various finishes and materials.
