About the Item
Psyche is a unique installation of three mirror-polished stainless steel sculptures on a concrete base and three painted stainless steel stabiles and bases by contemporary artist Franck K, dimensions are 300 × 510 × 280 cm (118.1 × 200.8 × 110.2 in).
The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
It is possible to set this piece outside. The sculptures made of mirror-polished stainless steel are only finished on one side; the other is painted black.
You can commission this piece of art. It will be produced on the same basis and with the same parameters as depicted in the pictures. The creative process used makes each piece unique. These pictures depict the artwork on display in the grounds of Lavey-les-Bains, Switzerland's Grand Hôtel des Bains. The artist may suggest to the collector where the piece should be placed and may even be able to alter the piece in advance to make it fit the space.
The stainless steel creations by Franck K interact with the surrounding light and reflections. The smooth, polished surface of these sculptures is distorted by lumps and hollows. Inspired by the waves and reflections on the sea's surface, they appear to be in constant motion.
French contemporary sculptor Franck K works and lives in the south-west of France, close to Pau. His self-taught career started in the family business's boiler-making workshop, where he first learned how to work with materials as a child, especially metal. Its technical expertise provides a strong base upon which the calibre of its work is constructed. His artistic approach began when he created his first slate sculpture at the age of eight.

Franck K (1965) is a French contemporary sculptor who lives and works near Pau in south-west France. His self-taught career began in the boiler-making workshop of the family business where, as a child, he discovered working with materials, particularly metal. This technical knowledge is the solid foundation on which the quality of its work is built. At the age of eight he produced his first slate sculpture, which marked the beginning of his artistic approach. After graduating in boilermaking and then aeronautical and industrial design, Franck K began making objects for private individuals and architects. He also worked on the layout of bars, restaurants and shops. During his years in Toulouse, he built theatre and cinema sets and designed advertising and shop fittings. Franck K now devotes all his time to creating sculptures and designer furniture. His sculptural output takes a variety of forms: sculptures, wall sculptures and monumental installations – including in situ creations such as the four monumental sculptures installed in 2018 in the grounds of the Grand Hôtel des Bains, in Lavey-les-Bains, Switzerland. “I’m in favour of interactivity, so that people who come to see my sculptures or installations can make them their own, play with them, go on inner journeys, and ultimately be the authors and players of a work within a work.”
