Resin and fiberglass sculptures by Bernard Rives

Contemporary resin and fiberglass sculptures

Resin and fiberglass allow Bernard Rives to develop sculptures with flowing lines, defined volumes and considerable freedom of form. These materials are closely associated with his contemporary language and the search for movement that characterises his work.

The collection includes original sculptures in resin, fiberglass and combinations of these materials with other elements and finishes, ranging from works for interiors to large-format pieces for architectural projects and selected outdoor settings.

Resin and fiberglass in Bernard Rives’s work

Bernard Rives uses resin and fiberglass to create works that are relatively light in relation to their volume, an especially useful characteristic for large-format sculpture. Depending on the work, they may be combined with stainless steel, wood, leather, marble powder or other elements.

Finishes vary from one creation to another, including chrome surfaces, metallic-effect paints, strong colours and varnishes that alter how the sculpture responds to light.

Freedom of form and movement

These materials make it possible to develop complex forms and expressive silhouettes while maintaining the visual balance characteristic of Bernard Rives. Female figures, animals and monumental sculptures convey movement through stylised lines, dynamic poses and changing volumes.

Resin sculpture for indoor and outdoor settings

Outdoor suitability depends on the characteristics and finish of each work. Some sculptures are designed for gardens, terraces and other exterior settings, while others should remain indoors. Always consult the individual product page before outdoor installation.

Unique pieces and limited editions

The collection includes both unique pieces and limited, numbered editions. Each product page specifies materials, dimensions, edition and availability, and original works are supplied with a certificate of authenticity signed by Bernard Rives.
