Guy FERRER (born in 1955) - Lot 304
Guy FERRER (born in 1955) The Great Circle, 2013 Bronze EA I / III 117 x 62 x 27 cm Estimate upon request Bibliography: Guy Ferrer, A Journey of Initiation: Bronze Testimonies, Jardin des Plantes – Les Capellans, Saint-Cyprien – Summer 2017; a similar model is reproduced in the catalog. Commentary: This work is part of an edition of 11 pieces, 8 numbered from 1/8 to 8/8, and 3 artist’s proofs numbered from I/III to III/III. Although numbered I/III, the sculpture presented here is the last in this edition. While in the other 10 copies the ends of the Circle do not touch, this sculpture is the only one in which the Circle closes, thus marking, according to the artist, the end of this creative cycle. Another distinctive feature of this particular piece is the symbol of the Cross, carved exclusively on this final copy. The Great Circle evokes the sky, the cosmos, and the movement of the planets, in contrast to the materiality of the earth. A figure appears within the Circle, alluding to a deity contemplating our human condition from above. The artist, Guy Ferrer, states that he shaped this work by raising his arms from below. He invites us to contemplate it as well from below, looking up toward the mystery of the sky. Nothing will remain, of my footsteps, of my shadow nothing will remain but a note Neither C nor B nor A, but an almost silence a fleeting whistle a held breath Erased from the visible beyond the tangible nothing will remain but a sound, my sound, recognized by Him alone?
