Through Trompe L’oeil Bronze, Prune Nourry Fuses Human Anatomy and Arboreal Roots

At the end of Jean-Baptiste Lully’s baroque opera Atys, the titular character is transformed into a tree. This metamorphosis, the result of a spell cast by an agitated goddess, secures Atys’ Earth-bound fate, melding human and plant life into a single body.

French artist Prune Nourry draws on this mythological allegory in a series that visualizes the hybrid form. Standing several feet tall to be lifelike or larger, a trio of bronze figures emerges through intricate networks mimicking both veins and branches, “fractal shapes that we can find in different scales in nature,” the artist says. Each sculpture references the form’s roots in operatic performance, and with the help of Béatrice Algazi, the smooth metal was painted in a trompe l’oeil style so that the works appear as if made of rope, used frequently in stage rigging. This illusory material also alludes to the connection between the infinitely large and infinitely small, a concept often described in the framework of string theory.

More Greek Geometric Art at the Museum of Fine Arts

We are continuing to explore Geometric Greek art in the Ancient Art wing of the St Pete Museum of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg, Florida. These are small bronze statues and figures from the 8th century B.C. from ancient Greece. Many are quite famous including the man and the cart and horses, the horse figures, and soldier lifting his spear. The color and patina on the bronze is wonderful.
