Toussaint Riendeau - Limited Edition Bronze Kneeli

Updated September 18, 2026

This powerful bronze by Toussaint Riendeau presents an abstracted kneeling figure with elongated limbs and a faceless ovoid head, poised in a moment of poised stillness. Cast in rich gold-toned bronze with a mottled, textured surface, the form rises from an organically modeled base that reads as living earth or rock, while the figure’s extended legs and subtly arched torso create a lyrical sweep of movement. The artist’s treatment of volume is intentionally spare and modernist, reducing anatomy to essential planes and rhythms so the piece reads as universal and timeless. The surface is full of hand-wrought detail with tactile tool marks and controlled irregularities that catch the light beautifully, producing a shifting interplay of matte and soft sheen across the body and base.<br><br>Editioned in an extremely small run, this example is number 1 of just 9, an especially desirable first number for serious collectors. The sculpture is signed RIENDEAU in the casting at the lower leg and bears the edition notation 1 of 9 in the same location, confirming authorship and exclusivity. Dimensions are approximately 11 inches wide x 5 inches deep x 10 1/2 inches tall. The stance is well balanced and stable on its integral base. From every viewing angle the work reveals a new profile: seen frontally, the form reads as meditative and grounded; from the side, the long lines of the legs and back create a dynamic silhouette; from the rear, the quiet curvature of the spine emphasizes the calm, contemplative attitude. The patina presents a nuanced palette of warm gold with darker undertones in the recesses, enhancing depth and sculptural presence.<br><br>Condition appears excellent based on close inspection of the photographs, with only minor and expected touchpoints at high areas and edges consistent with careful handling and the artist’s textured finish. No cracks, repairs, or structural concerns are evident in the images. This limited edition bronze by Toussaint Riendeau will anchor a contemporary art collection, complement a modern interior, and photograph magnificently for catalog or gallery presentation. With its rare edition size, coveted number 1 of 9, signed authentication, and museum-quality presence, this work offers a superb opportunity for high-end buyers seeking a distinctive modern figurative bronze sculpture by a sought-after artist. <br> <br>
