Homine 2.0 (2025) Original Clay Sculpture by Lionel Le Jeune

With Homine 2.0, the human figure reinvents itself in the digital age.
This 39 cm clay sculpture, with its slender, slim silhouette, captures a suspended moment: that of a man and his glowing smartphone screen. The artist subtly explores the tension between modernity and solitude, connection and isolation.

The raw, almost primitive modeling contrasts with the technological object held in the figure's hand. This dialogue between the ancestral material—clay—and the symbol of our time—the smartphone—gives the work a universal and profoundly contemporary scope.

Every roughness of the modeling reveals the trace of the gesture, the presence of the living. The warm patina with earthy reflections reinforces this fragile humanity, frozen in a moment of digital contemplation.

A unique and expressive piece, Homine 2.0 finds its place equally in a refined interior or in a modern art collection, where it invites reflection on the human condition in the connected age.
