The Swedish-French artist Ingrid Donat has evolved several visual motifs of lines, squares, rings and circles that cover the surfaces of her bronze designs. Commode Galuchat is inspired by the smooth yet textured surface of shark skin (also known as shagreen or galuchat), incorporating a complex, overlapping design, that draws the viewer’s gaze in competing directions.
Donat takes a painterly approach to the weighty medium of bronze, expressing an abstract narrative on the surface of her creations. Her geometric designs hint at a universal language, derived from nature, linguistics, and philosophy, sophisticatedly blending the Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles.
