"Des vagues, des mouettes" sculpture

Measuring around 4.60 m high and 2.50 m wide, "Des vagues, des mouettes" is the highlight of an open-air exhibition designed to enhance the center of Rivedoux through sculptural and architectural art: "Art'chitecture pour demain". Made of bronze, brass, steel and recycled materials, the 18 sculptures on display illustrated themes dear to their creator: insects, musicians, the Hispanic world... To complete the collection, a commission was placed to offer visitors a final steel creation on the theme of the sea. Assembled in August 2011 by Casimir Ferrer, its sculptor, this work was destined to remain, even after the one-year ephemeral exhibition. As its name suggests, the aim here is to depict waves, seagulls and a disc that might remind us of the Sun or Moon. The observer is then the sole judge of the latter's identity.
