With “Giraffe”, Pascal Chesneau deepens his sculptural exploration of lightness and life. Far from rigid or heavy representation, this airy piece evokes a giraffe in motion — slender, elegant, and partially dissolved into space. Through the use of recycled metal, the artist offers an ethical and poetic interpretation of the animal, somewhere between presence and absence.
The giraffe — a symbol of grace, height, and watchfulness — is rendered here in a nearly skeletal form, suggesting rather than describing. Its long, delicate legs stretch rhythmically into space, while its extended neck draws the eye upward in a gentle, fluid arc. The hollowed body, punctuated with gaps and textures, communicates an intentional fragility — a balance between material density and visual transparency.
The animal appears to float, almost to dance. Leaning slightly forward, it seems to take a step that never lands, suspended in a moment just before or just after motion. The slim, dark base anchors the form while allowing the piece to breathe, to unfold naturally in space.
Fine details — the short horns, elongated snout, and subtly lifted tail — contribute to a minimal yet evocative aesthetic. Chesneau does not aim to replicate the giraffe in full anatomical precision. Instead, he captures its soul, its movement, its lightness — the poetry within the animal.
With dimensions of 46 x 48 x 12 cm, “Giraffe” fits seamlessly into a contemporary setting, a private art collection, or a curated wildlife-themed gallery. It captivates through its refinement and restraint, reminding us that beauty often lies in what is left out — in the spaces we are invited to imagine.
With this sculpture, Pascal Chesneau proves once again that even raw, salvaged material can become a conduit for grace. That wildlife art can be both ecological and elegant. And that animals, seen through the lens of thoughtful creation, can serve as powerful links between nature, form, and human consciousness.
