More information
The sculpture “L'élan in which certain patterns in modern sculpture, like Degas’s step, or the torso ensconced frontally in the tradition of Rodin or Wlérick, are rethought by Gudmar Olovson through an energy that is all his own. A Scandinavian’s energy, but a fighter’s too.
Immersed in her time, indissociable from her space, the woman moves forward, motivated by her momentum alone, with an impetuous step, just before making a leap. The profiles unite with the outlines of the planes, in a series of rhythms that accentuate the power of the movement. It is a kind of vigorous hymn, chanted like a plastic paean.
