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.
