Bronze And Coral Sculpture By Jacques Duval-brasseur, 1970s

A rare and remarkable decorative sculpture signed by JacquesDuval-Brasseur, created in the 1970s, which beautifully illustratesthe artist’s organic and poetic world.The work depicts a group of stylized mushrooms whosestems are crafted from bronze with a golden patina, featuring adeliberately irregular texture that evokes natural, growing forms. Thecaps are made of genuine white coral specimens,remarkably selected for their concentric veins and theirstriking resemblance to mushroom gills.
This unionof a noble material and a natural element produces a sculptural effect of greatfinesse.The perfectly balanced composition plays on thedifferences in scale between the three elements, creating an upward movementand an impression of spontaneous growth.
The contrast between the warmluster of the bronze and the delicate, almost ivory-like quality of the coral givesthe piece an exceptional decorative presence.Typical of Duval-Brasseur’s work from the 1970s,this sculpture reflects his taste for biomorphic forms and hisability to transform natural materials into true works ofdecorative art.Characteristics:
