Description
JEAN BOGHOSSIAN (Born in 1949) TORSO III (SWO-001-2015), 2015 Pyro-lacquered wood sculpture Unique piece 100 x 50 cm Pyro-lacquered wood sculpture Unique piece 39 3/8 x 19 5/8 in. Provenance Private collection Torso III is part of the Standing Woods series, in which Jean Boghossian explores wood as a living material, imbued with memory and strength. Through a process combining controlled combustion, sculpture and shaping, the artist transforms the trunk into a refined and monumental form. Situated on the cusp between destruction and rebirth, the work creates a tension between the mastery of the artist’s hand and the action of fire, revealing all the energy contained within the material.
