This striking torso by Olivier Duhamel presents the male body with both classical gravity and contemporary finesse. Carved from stacked, laminated wood, the sculpture reveals its construction through a rhythmic pattern of horizontal strata. These fine, parallel lines flow across the anatomy like topographical contours, heightening the sense of volume while celebrating the material’s own structure.

Duhamel’s technique transforms a traditional subject into something distinctly modern: a fusion of precision woodworking, digital sensibility, and classical form. The result is a contemplative study of the human body—timeless, tactile, and unmistakably crafted by hand.
