Homme Sumac by Julien ALLEGRE

The patina of bronze plays a crucial role in the aesthetics of Julien Allègre's sculptures, influencing their final appearance and artistic significance in several ways:
Customisation: Julien Allègre develops his own personal colouring for his bronzes, seeking to bring them closer to his artistic universe while challenging the connotation of preciousness traditionally associated with bronze.
Contrast and transformation: Patina allows the artist to create a contrast between the preciousness of bronze and the more raw or industrial appearance of his works inspired by contemporary materials such as oil barrels.
