Iron, 18K yellow gold

Artist, Claude Chavent creates a work of striking and elegant contrast. Between the insistent path of dark iron emergesthe effervescentshine of high karat gold. Chavent masterfully employs his signature tromp I'oeil to further impose the variance of the dynamic metals. Together, their breadth of character coalesces into exquisite harmony. While the opposing nature of the work compels a larger statementupon finishing the composition, its design yet beguiles the heart in subtle sensitivity. Quite a piece to ever stir the soul.
