Venus

From Venus, goddess of beauty born of the foam, Jacques Charles keeps the surge: an abstract female silhouette, drawn out, cut in stainless steel, rising from the base like a flame. The mirroring planes fold into a slender waist and open at the summit. The light is born from the heart of the figure. No shade: the polished metal is at once body and source of light. This piece belongs to the great series of stainless-steel lights Jacques Charles created in the sixties, resolutely of the seventies in spirit.
