Description
This Cubist-inspired sculpture abstracts the form of Gus, the beloved Shih Tzu of Isis Gondoin, Arnaud Quercy's master at the Paris Profils et Reliefs workshop.
Regularly accompanying Isis, Gus's essence is captured through geometric planes and angular facets. The interplay of textured surfaces and earthy patina adds depth and character, inviting viewers to explore its dynamic structure from multiple perspectives.
Arnaud Quercy's modernist approach blends organic inspiration with geometric abstraction, making Gus a vivid presence in the sculpture.
