The Taillon Gallery is pleased to present the latest sculpture by the sculptor Nicole Taillon.
“Buddha meditating on a rock.”
“Never I would have believed that I would have created a sculpture of Buddha … there are so many.”
… The idea was suggested to me by people whose spiritual presence in their lives is essential.
I started by saying “No way!” …
.. then the idea made its path.
“What I like is that he has an undefined smile …
Is it Joy? Of the Ecstasy? of love? Of Contemplation
I do not know, but what I know is that when I meditate before sculpture, my meditations are always more pleasant and effective.”
Description: Buddha sitting on a rock meditates in lotus position.
Between his two joined hands there is a flaming heart that radiates.
In his back he slipped into his dress his sandals intertwined.
He wears a ring bearing the effigy of the triangle.
In his back we can see a solid spine with seven prominent vertebrae referring to the seven chakras.
Technical:
The skin is treated with iron nitrate, the garment so a mixture of acid that, with the flame of the torch gives white.
His sandals are a mixture of different acids: iron nitrate and copper nitrate.
The core is worked and covered with silver with the electroplating process
On the artist’s test the stone is natural, on the regular series the stone will be bronze
As “Buddha” is exhibited in one of the rooms on the gallery floor. Visitors will have the leisure, if they feel the need, to be able to meditate in peace.
You are welcome.
Truly
Nicole
