Untitled

From French rugby captain to sculptor - Jean-Pierre Rives took an unusual path to making art. His Untitled twists heavy steel into a form that seems much lighter than its material should allow, with sea and sky appearing through the spaces between. With no title telling you what it represents, you're free to start with whatever you see.

Untitled

Look beside the coastal path on Marine Parade just north of Grant Street. Untitled stands near George Andric's Icarus 4.

Before becoming an internationally exhibited artist, Jean-Pierre Rives was one of France's best-known rugby players, captaining the national team and playing 59 Tests during the 1970s and 80s. After retiring from rugby he increasingly turned to painting and sculpture, developing a distinctive language of large steel forms.

Rives bends and intersects heavy steel beams to explore movement, balance and the empty spaces around them. Here, the coastal setting becomes part of the sculpture: walk around it and different pieces of ocean, sky and vegetation appear through the structure. The absence of a descriptive title leaves those associations deliberately open.

Untitled was exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2014 and acquired for the permanent collection that year. You'll find it just north of Grant Street near Icarus 4, making the two an easy comparison on the same coastal wander. Grant Marine Park, with its shady grass and playground, is close by if you want to stop for longer.
