The bronze sculpture portrays a motionless stag with its body extended in a state of active anticipation. Its powerful body and slender legs combine to create a very elegant and striking silhouette. As is frequently the case, the artist is able to convey in one figure both fragility and strength, immobility and the possibility of movement, balance, and precariousness.

Over the past 30 years, Pierre Yermia has created a unique body of work on the contemporary art scene, featuring animal sculpture and female figures. The artist's deeply rooted human and animal figures stand on their fragile legs and rise in slow movement, defying the laws of gravity. Shapes are elongated, frail legs contrast with more massive torsos, heads reduced to essentials throne on long, slender necks. See less
