Granite Man




Patrice La Guen: Le Repos du Tailleur
This sculpture is an homage to Daniel Chhe, a passionate patron of the arts. It is also an homage to all the quarry men who extracted granite from the land.
Sculptors know that pink granite witnessed in so many monuments has come from Brittany.
The detail in this sculpture is remarkable ... the pocket in his trousers, the boot, his clothing, his mallet, his weariness and his sheer size is impressive!
