Xavier Mérigot - Lot 81
Xavier Mérigot A surrealist sculptural object depicting a stylized kiwi, combining carved wood and patinated metal, resting on a cubic pedestal painted green. The bird’s body, rendered in a minimalist style, features a curved and compact form, enlivened by a long, serrated beak made of oxidized metal. The circular inlaid eye accentuates the figure’s hybrid and anthropomorphic appearance. The base bears a handwritten text that humorously alludes to the animal’s supposed habits in New Zealand, concluding with a reference to the popular expression “to cut someone off.” This narrative and offbeat dimension firmly places the work within a surrealist vein, where wordplay, the absurd, and subversion all contribute to the object’s poetry.
