Two sculptures of the artist sculptor on metals of Jean Alexandre Delattre born in 1935 in Puy de Dôme. He has been practicing his passion for more than 50 years.
This artist has been asked to make many trophies such as the golden microphone that rewards French sports journalists, or the one that will celebrate the centenary of the Tour de France in 2019.
Jean Alexandre Delattre has been honored with many distinctions such as the 1st prize for welded sculptures at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris in 2001.
For a sculpture named the man with flowers and for the other the man with a saxophone.
Jean Alexandre Delattre has the quiet strength of the one and the brotherly warmth of the other.
This artist with golden hands and a smiling sense of humor works iron into a precious object, a true magician, he offers the material the possibility of becoming a sought after work of art.
His creative passion for sculpture came to him years ago. He is inspired by the silhouettes of his youth as a basketball player to create long figures whose elegance and harmony characterize his exhibitions.
New encounters, events or music, everything is a source of inspiration. Humor and poetry are his strength.
There are permanent exhibitions of his work at the Domaine La Champagne, or in the garden in front of the town hall of Rueil Malmaison.
The man with the flowers is 2 meters high and its base 50 cm by 50 cm
The man with the saxophone is 1,94 m high and its base is 60 cm by 60 cm
the two sculptures are sold 14000€.
