With \u003cem\u003eRhinocéros Sélénite\u003c\/em\u003e, I sought to evoke an almost fossil presence, like an organic memory suspended in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"1579\" data-start=\"1188\"\u003eThis work belongs to my \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Gamme Sculptures Intimes de Philippe Buil\" href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/collections\/sculptures-intimes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSculptures Intimes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e range and to my \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Collections Animaux - Sculptures en dentelle de métal de Philippe Buil\" href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/collections\/animal\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnimal Collection\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/a\u003e I wanted to work here on the balance between strength and disappearance. The rhinoceros\u0026#39;s head appears partially revealed, as if the material had been consumed or eroded by time. The voids become as important as the solids, allowing light to pass through this metallic lace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"1830\" data-start=\"1581\"\u003eThe main steel structure develops a raw, almost volcanic texture, while the bronze lace brings a warmer, more mineral vibration. This contrast between the two metals creates a dialogue between power and delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"2125\" data-start=\"1832\"\u003eThe rhinoceros is an animal that deeply fascinates me. It symbolizes both primitive strength, resilience, and vulnerability. In this contemporary animal sculpture, I do not seek a realistic representation but an emotional and organic interpretation of its presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"2338\" data-start=\"2127\"\u003eThe round metal base also contributes to the work. One part retains a structured and lively material while the other bears my engraved signature, like a discreet imprint left in the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"2578\" data-start=\"2340\"\u003eEach viewing angle transforms the sculpture. Depending on the light, the rhinoceros seems to appear or gradually disappear. It is this sensation of frozen movement and material in mutation that gives this piece its unique character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"2796\" data-start=\"2580\"\u003eThis metal sculpture is an original signed work, created in my studio in France.
