About the Item
Takioka is a sculpture by French contemporary artist Jacques Owczarek.
This turtle in bronze takes shape through a series of lines, edges and curves.
Jacques Owczarek discovered sculpture at the age of 30 and considers that he was really born at that moment. He crafts his pieces with extreme thoroughness and is on an eternal quest for perfection. His wildlife sculptures are incredible: seen from one angle it is impossible to imagine their form from another. You have to circle the piece to discover all the different aspects. Much sensibility but also humour arise from his sculptures which seem to have imbibed the soul of their creator.
This sculpture is available in format 13 cm x 27 cm x 19 cm, edition of 8 plus 4 artist's proofs.
Sculpture is numbered, signed and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.

Jacques Owczarek
Jacques Owczarek’s sculptures oscillate between figuration and abstraction, redefining the genre of animal sculpture. In his bronze bestiary, the artist favours purity of form, synthesising it in a distinct, highly original style. He allows himself to be guided by his intuitions, creating animals with dynamic, geometric lines that give an impression of movement to static matter. Jacques Owczarek has exhibited at some of the most prestigious international shows and fairs for almost 20 years. “For me, the animal is just a pretext, a pretext for shapes that will question, for volumes that will live, that will settle, that will take possession of the place, that will evolve in a direction that I will give them because they impose themselves on me.’’
