In this intimate and gracefully balanced bronze, Olivier Duhamel captures a moment of tender connection between two figures whose mirrored postures create both harmony and tension. Leaning toward one another in a poised arc, the paired bodies form a living bridge—an architectural gesture shaped by trust, affection, and playful curiosity.
Rendered with Duhamel’s characteristic precision, the sculpture highlights the sensual geometry of the human form: smooth planes, subtle musculature, and a warm patina that enhances the softness of skin. Though the figures are entwined in a close embrace, their stance is dynamic, suggesting movement held briefly in suspension.
I Kissed a Girl explores the beauty of mutual vulnerability, celebrating the quiet strength found in touch. At once elegant and boldly contemporary, the piece reflects Duhamel’s ongoing fascination with balance—physical, emotional, and relational—expressed through a refined and timeless sculptural language.
