About the artist: Ferdinand Gelhausen is a contemporary sculptor based in Banyuls-sur-Mer, in the Pyrénées-Orientales. His work prioritises natural materials, particularly stone and marble, which he shapes in both a figurative and refined approach. His works frequently explore themes of human connection, movement, and the balance of forms. Through a subtle interplay between abstraction and representation, Gelhausen primarily seeks to express emotion and closeness between beings, in a sober and timeless aesthetic. He regularly exhibits his creations in his studio-gallery and also shares his expertise through stone sculpture workshops. This sculpture particularly illustrates this quest for balance between abstraction and figuration.
