( 180 x 50 x 45 cm) Series 2020 This piece is the second version of a Bishop portrait in sculpture of chess game: indeed this series is part of my last research over the Chess game, its pieces formes, the silhouettes and its easthetics: I created a big Installation with all the chess pieces in sculptures and figures and several pantings and sketches as a storyboard of the research.
