About the Item
Deforestation is a figurative bronze sculpture by French artist Romain Langlois, representing the face of a man wearing a wooden crown – also made of bronze.
The sculptor’s figurative sculptures are characterised by a subtle representation of the human body. While they appear realistic at first glance, they incorporate unexpected elements that convey a poetic and committed message. Rather than being limited to a faithful imitation of reality, these works explore the profound relationship between humans and their environment, between humans and the natural world.
In this particular piece, a man is depicted wearing a broken wooden crown — also made of bronze. Through this symbolic element, the artist draws attention to the crucial issue of deforestation in the Amazon. This piece therefore forms part of Langlois’ broader reflection of the Anthropocene: the geological era characterized by humanity’s profound and frequently destructive impact on the planet’s ecosystems.

Romain Langlois
Romain Langlois has become known for his unique bronze sculptures, to which he gives an appearance of a rock or wood. His work is not limited to this technical virtuosity: by reproducing objects that he takes from nature, he introduces a poetic twist that rises the ordinary to the rank of extraordinary. His artworks are part of major art collections (Matmut, Fondation Bullukian) and they have been exhibited in museums such as the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris, 2017). They are also the subject of ambitious international commissions. “Everything is living, everything is moving, everything is changing. However, life cannot always show its best side; sometimes you have to root it out. This is what I am trying to do with my sculptures, gently, discreetly: to search for the life and expose it to those who are going to view them.’’
