About the Item
A monumental wall sculpture by Lucien Bénière, standing over six feet tall. In this work, the artist shifts from geometry to fluid motion—each carved form rising and folding. The wood is richly toned, its surface hand-finished to reveal an undulating rhythm of swell and hollow. Two circular inlays in pale wood interrupt the flow, like moons hovering in a tide of grain and curve. Light catches on every crest and valley, drawing the eye across a composition that feels both celestial and organic.
French artist Lucien Bénière (1922-1912) trained in wood sculpting and mold-making at the École Nationale Professionnelle de Saint-Étienne. After early explorations in ink and oil painting throughout the 1960s and 70s, Bénière shifted his practice entirely to wood carving by 1979.
Working within the language of modern abstraction, his approach is deeply romantic—his carvings seek not just form, but resonance. For Bénière, wood is not merely material, but a vessel of time and nature—a kind of hieroglyph through which the human spirit communes with the organic world.
