This abstract sculpture features an intriguing composition of angular, geometric forms sculpted in a bronze-like material. The predominant shapes are sharp, pointed structures that intersect and create a sense of tension and dynamism. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown and gray that give the piece a weathered, industrial appearance. The artwork appears to be a modernist interpretation of a chair or throne-like form, evoking a sense of power and authority through its bold, angular design.

Established in Paris since 2010, mor charpentier represents both emerging and well-established artists whose conceptual practices are anchored in social realities, history and the politics of contrasting geographic regions.
