Tata
Medium: Bronze
Limited edition of 8
20cm
This intimate bronze by Olivier Duhamel presents a reclining female figure captured in a moment of relaxed, playful ease. Resting on her forearms with legs gently raised, the pose combines sensual curvature with a disarming lightness of attitude. The figure’s hairstyle—two compact buns—adds a contemporary, whimsical note that contrasts harmoniously with the classical modelling of the body.
Duhamel’s signature attention to anatomical rhythm is evident in the subtle transitions of muscle and skin, while the polished bronze surface catches the light in soft gradients that accentuate the sculpture’s fluid silhouette. Compact in scale yet rich in presence, Tata invites a close, contemplative viewing, revealing both the precision of the artist’s hand and the quiet character of the figure.
A work that balances elegance, humour, and sensuality, this bronze exemplifies Duhamel’s ability to distill personality and gesture into timeless sculptural form.
Other series exists at different scale, material and colours.
