Igor Mitoraj et Paco Rabanne
Focus on this Sculpture Portrait of a Man by Igor Mitoraj
Recognized for his unique style that fuses classicism and modernity, this work rests on an elegant black marble base, enhancing the power of the composition by highlighting the monumentality of the bust despite its reduced size.
Signed at the lower right, the sculpture is also titled, annotated, and numbered on the back on a small bronze plaque. This limited edition of 1,000 exemplifies a prestigious artistic collaboration between Mitoraj and the brand Paco Rabanne, who chose the artist to launch its men's care line.
Mitoraj's style, blending references to antiquity with a contemporary aesthetic, gives this Portrait of a Man a timeless aura. The fragmented yet expressive bust embodies Mitoraj's recurring theme of idealized beauty confronted with the erosion of time. Its brown patina gives it visual depth, accentuating the facial reliefs and underscoring the artist's technical mastery in bronze work.
This piece is an illustration of Mitoraj's ability to create works imbued with mystery and strength, resonating with the heritage of ancient busts while remaining resolutely modern.
