Le Cavalier "Hot Rider" by Pierre Sgamma takes us into an infernal and chivalrous universe. A former horseman, Pierre pays tribute in this series presented by Retour De Voyage to the relationship between horse and rider, with his characteristic humour. He also asks us about our relationship with the mystical by presenting this rider who carries his horse on fire while covering his eyes so as not to see what awaits him, or perhaps - knowing Pierre Sgamma - for more sensations. Among the many details of this statue are the rider's tattoos.

It is impossible to remain indifferent to the creations of Pierre Sgamma. His sometimes enigmatic creations disturb, move, provoke and even shock. This artist has developed his own plastic language, a singular universe that unfolds with great freedom of expression. The world of Pierre Sgamma, full of poetry and sensitivity, shakes us up, scratches us and moves us between tearing and appeasement. He transcends established codes by juxtaposing the sublime and the grotesque, candour and perversity. He says: "In the most intense moments of production and creation, I don't work, I play. Each piece is a piece of me, loaded with my experience of love, violence, fears, lacks, desires. I make fun of myself, of this great comedy that is life. 

Retour De Voyage loves the majesty of this sculpture which contributes to the magic and mystery.
