We know Leonardo da Vinci's "Lady with
Ermine". Gaël Rouxeville was also inspired by the beautiful animal, and
treated it in a resolutely contemporary way: both static by its posture,
and very dynamic by the treatment of curves (which induces the
beginning of a movement). Under its patinated clear lacquer, it takes on
a quasi-mineral aspect that takes us out of reality.
The surprising material thus created blends perfectly with the solid
oak wood base. The ermine is also called the white lady (hence the
title), because of its immaculate coat during the winter period...
This work has benefited from all the artist's know-how to bring you
perfect satisfaction over time (quality wood, lacquers and varnishes).
Three copies were made, each with a different base, one of which entered
a public collection. Sculpture numbered 2/3, dated and signed by the
artist.
