Black Phoenix – Sculpture murale : fusion de noirceur et de renaissance
Une œuvre saisissante, entre mythe et matière
"Black Phoenix" est une sculpture murale puissante et symbolique, fusionnant les notions de destruction et de renaissance. Ce buste noir aux allures humaines et mythologiques, moulé en plâtre creux, se distingue par la présence de scarifications dorées à la feuille d’or 18 kt, évoquant des marques de transformation, de survie ou de transfiguration intérieure.
La surface noire, vernie et lustrée, capte la lumière et crée une tension visuelle avec les dorures éclatantes, accentuant la dualité entre l’ombre et la lumière, la chute et l’élévation. Le phoenix, oiseau mythique renaissant de ses cendres, trouve ici une incarnation contemporaine et texturée à travers la matière.
Une technique mixte sculpturale audacieuse
L’œuvre est réalisée à partir d’un moulage en plâtre monté sur un panneau de merisier galerie de 1 5/8 po, avec un travail au couteau dans un mélange de stuc acrylique, gesso et autres médiums formant les motifs en relief. L’ensemble est peint à l’acrylique noire et enrichi de dorures minutieuses. Vernie pour une protection optimale, l’œuvre est signée, prête à être accrochée, et ne nécessite pas d’encadrement.

English version:
Black Phoenix – Wall Sculpture: A Fusion of Darkness and Rebirth
A striking artwork, between myth and material
"Black Phoenix" is a powerful and symbolic wall sculpture that explores themes of destruction and renewal. This black bust, evoking both human and mythological forms, is cast in hollow plaster and adorned with gold scarifications, painted with 18 kt gold. These markings suggest transformation, endurance, and inner transfiguration.
The glossy, varnished black surface captures and reflects light, creating a dramatic contrast with the luminous gold accents. This tension between shadow and brilliance embodies the phoenix myth—the legendary bird that rises from its ashes—through a contemporary, tactile interpretation.
Bold mixed-media sculptural technique
Mounted on a 1 5/8 in. deep birch gallery panel, the piece features raised motifs sculpted with a knife using a blend of acrylic stucco, gesso, and other mediums. It is painted entirely in black acrylic and detailed with refined golden highlights. The artwork is varnished for protection, signed on the front and back, and ready to hang—no framing needed.
