With "À travers Marianne", artist Hellen Halftermeyer creates far more than a sculpture — she crafts a presence, an idea, a breath captured in metal. Made from arc-welded metal, this artwork (73 x 45 x 53 cm) is a sensory exploration of material, where the artist’s gesture remains visible — raw and deeply expressive.
The profile of this woman seems to emerge from ancient bark, shaped by fire, time, and the tension of metal. Every crack, relief, and irregularity contributes to the work’s emotional intensity. The texture is organic, almost alive — like reading into the layers, scars, and pulse of the material.
But it is in her wind-swept hair, composed of fine welded rods and forged leaves, that the sculpture reaches its most poetic dimension. The stillness of bronze transforms into motion and air, evoking both the power of nature and the freedom of thought. This reinterpretation of Marianne wears no Phrygian cap — she embodies a wild, untamed liberty, deeply rooted in the natural world.
Hellen Halftermeyer’s sculptural language draws from the heritage of metal, which she transcends through her unique, instinctive approach. Far from polished perfection, she embraces roughness, noble irregularity, as signs of humanity and emotional depth.
Acquiring " À travers Marianne " means choosing a sculpture that is authentic, poetic, and powerfully contemporary. This piece is for collectors who seek visceral, meaningful art, where material becomes memory and message.
Ideal for a private collection, public space, or curated exhibition, "À travers Marianne" asserts itself with presence and poetry. It speaks of freedom, resilience, and our connection to nature — themes that resonate deeply in our times.
