L'art s'offre-t'il ?
L’art n’est pas un objet comme les autres. Il ne sert pas à quelque chose de précis, ne répond pas à un besoin immédiat. Il existe pour être regardé, ressenti, vécu. Alors, peut-on vraiment offrir une œuvre d’art ?

Cernunno's greeting
Eric Vanel
&
2023
Cernunno's Greeting is a work inspired by Celtic mythology, representing Cernunnos, the horned god. Cernunnos is an ancient deity, associated with fertility, wilderness, and the renewal of life. Often represented with deer antlers, it embodies the harmony between man and nature, symbolizing the vitality of forests and animals. As a guardian of wildlife, he is also seen as a protector of the natural cycles of life and death.
Here, Éric Vanel captures the majesty of this pagan figure through a patinated bronze sculpture, where the god seems to greet us, inviting us to reconnect with the primitive forces of the earth. The imposing posture of Cernunnos, combined with his piercing gaze, conveys both power and serenity. Its majestic woods, finely sculpted, recall its deep connection with the animal world and wild nature.
The bronze patina adds an organic dimension to the work, accentuating reflections and shadows, as if to evoke ancient forests. Cernunno's Greeting invites us to contemplate the sacred link between man and nature, to respect the cycles of life and to regain a lost balance with our environment.
