About the Item

A striking and monumental totem sculpture by French contemporary artist Nicolas Vallée. Creator of unique biomorphic sculptures, Vallée crafts each piece individually in smooth white or pigmented plaster, with the intention of breathing life into abstract form. This imposing totem rises through a succession of organically stacked volumes — rounded, hollow, and tapering — evoking at once a primitive idol, a human silhouette, and a natural growth. The immaculate white plaster finish amplifies the sculpture's interplay of light and shadow, making it a commanding presence in any interior. A slender black metal element crowns the piece, adding an unexpected graphic contrast. Signed "N. Vallée" and referenced NV-S10 on the oak base. A rare large-scale work that bridges sculpture and interior design, equally at home in a collector's residence, a luxury lobby, or a designer's bespoke space.
