Tree-women, bark-women, nymphs in metamorphosis: the Vegetal Women are the heart of George Sculpteur’s œuvre. Each bronze seizes the instant when flesh becomes plant — or the reverse. All are original art bronzes, numbered and signed, cast at the Massimo Del Chiaro (Pietrasanta, Italy) and Alfa Arte (Eibar, Spain) foundries.
