Tourain’s collectible series of works in hand-cast brass transform the sublimity of nature and the spirit of the elements into sculptural works of remarkable elegance and power. With an unparalleled commitment to craftsmanship and the use of the purest materials, each work in the collection feels at once like a celebration of natural and celestial phenomena and a bravura display of painstaking artistry and innovation. Together, the works remind us of the possibilities of human ingenuity and the enduring strength of that natural world, inviting us to meditate on the interconnectedness of all things and the meaning of cosmic time
Brass Triptych, Tourain’s inaugural work, serves as a technical exploration rather than an investigation of a specific natural element. This coffee table embodies a range of experimental techniques, combining them into a cohesive whole. As the artist’s first foray into collectible design, it represents a foundational study in form and craftsmanship. A harmonic balance of various methods brings together the rough cast brass, silky smooth mirror polished brass, and hand applied patinas in this singularly innovative work. Handcrafted by Tourain in Belgium, it is a unique work and signed by the artist
