Artwork description
A Tear 96-22 is a unique contemporary sculpture by French artist Philippe Buil, internationally recognized for his signature “metal lace” technique. Crafted in bronze with an intricate openwork structure, this expressive face sculpture captures a fragile moment between silence, emotion and transformation.
The delicate lace-like metal texture creates a striking interplay of light and shadow, giving the face an almost ethereal presence. Inspired by both organic forms and contemporary figurative art, Philippe Buil shapes molten bronze drop by drop, creating a sculpture that feels simultaneously powerful and weightless.
This one-of-a-kind artwork blends modern bronze sculpture, emotional portraiture and collectible contemporary design. Signed by the artist and delivered with a certificate of authenticity, A Tear 96-22 is ideal for collectors seeking distinctive contemporary sculpture, bronze face art and museum-quality metal artwork
