Description
The Work
The last of the sculptures made by Philippe Hiquily is a direct counterpart of the mythical sculpture by the artist: the Marathonienne. Whilst this last one was captured in the effort of her action, Épicurienne (the epicurean), seems on the contrary caught in a moment of serenity and of pure ecstasy.
Pretty and nonchalant she offers herself to the eye but remains more reserved than her elder sister. Her hand chastely caresses her crossed knees whilst her mind wonders in her dreams. Is she really modest or simply relaxed and satiated after having reached climax? As she now joins the Art For All collection in small format, we can now all decide of her destiny… in the palm of our hands.
