Véronique VIGNERON (Born 1963) La mère et l'enfant, 2024 Bronze print with two patinas of 24-carat gold and platinum. Signed, Rosini foundry stamp. 80 x 30 x 12 cm This sculpture is a unique piece, created using the lost-wax technique. The bronze has been worked and patinated by the Rosini foundry. The artist gilds his sculptures with 24-carat gold and platinum leaf after they return from the foundry. The artist's aim is to work bronze, a heavy material, with finesse and elegance. In an almost epidermal way, a thin layer of bronze separates the inner world from the outer world, offering an awareness of perception. The theme of this sculpture evokes the disproportion between mother and infant, illustrating the mother's gigantism in the eyes of the child. It also evokes distanced education, inviting children to think for themselves and to exercise a critical mind from an early age about the world around them.
