Oiseau mécanique

Oiseau mécanique by Philolaos Tloupas, Place des Reflets, Courbevoie, La Défense, Paris

Oiseau mécanique (Mechanical Bird) by Philolaos Tloupas, 1972
Place des Reflets
Courbevoie, La Défense
Paris, October 2005

“An emblematic sculpture in the artist's artwork, the Oiseau mécanique, with its surprising aspects, seems to have come straight out of his imagination. Its stainless steel structure allows a play of reflections with the sky, and oscillates between urban aesthetics and natural forms. Philolaos presents two other artworks at La Défense: Nymphéas and Cheminées.” (Oiseau mécanique, Paris La Défense)
