The artist depicts an owl in an attentive yet expressive pose, with large, round eyes that lend it a particularly striking presence.
The handling of the material highlights a deliberately textured relief, evoking the bird's plumage and giving the bronze surface a play of light. The stylized silhouette, the direct gaze, and the subtly accentuated forms demonstrate an approach that is both figurative and decorative.
The owl rests on an integrated base, crafted from the same bronze, which ensures the piece's stability and reinforces its sculptural character. A work full of character, where material, expression, and stylization combine with elegance.

Yves Lohé, born in 1947 in northern France, is a French sculptor. After studying law and working as a teacher, he devoted himself to sculpture from 1974 onwards. He initially worked with wrought iron, then bronze, and, from 1991, combined bronze with colored glass. His work is distinguished by its slender figures, movement, and poetic style. He also created several monumental sculptures.
