About the Item

Vassil réalisa ce modèle de Guépard en 2006. Notre épreuve est signée "Vassil" et numérotée "7/8". Il s'agît d'une fonte de la maison Chapon. Dans son catalogue raisonné, l'artiste décrit l'attitude de l'animal en ces mots : « La femelle guépard vient de repérer une éventuelle proie. Si elle pouvait l’attraper pendant que ses petits jouent, ils pourraient tous manger… ». Présentée lors du Salon des artistes français en 2012, cette sculpture fut récompensée d’une médaille d’argent. Jean Vassileff, dit " Vassil " est né en 1949 à Drancy. Artiste autodidacte, Vassil s'est intéressé très tôt à la peinture et à la sculpture. Il pratique tout d'abord la taille directe, avant de se tourner vers le modelage, la terre cuite, puis le bronze. Cette technique lui permet de déployer toute son expressivité et de créer les mouvements audacieux qui caractérisent son Œuvre. L'approche de Vassil s'appuie sur l'éthologie. Il représente ainsi les comportements et les réactions, les émotions et les sentiments des bêtes.
