Dominique Labauvie. This name might not mean much to you now, but it belongs to the artist who created the remarkable sculpture we’re standing before: Horizons suspendus. Installed in 1997, this monumental work of art, commissioned by the city of Paris itself, graces the banks of the Bassin de la Villette. Horizons suspendus is an abstract piece, its cast iron form rising six meters high and spanning an impressive fifteen meters in length. Take a moment to appreciate the fluidity of the design. Notice how the sculpture’s top forms a wave-like structure, seemingly frozen in motion. Six slightly inward-leaning pillars, firmly planted in the ground, support this dynamic form. These pillars, cylindrical at their base, gracefully curve and split at their ends, reaching out both forward and backward, enhancing the sense of movement. Horizons suspendus is more than just metal; it’s a testament to the artistic vision of Dominique Labauvie, a man who transformed iron into a medium of flowing, lyrical expression.
