"Muslim Woman" Sculpture – Contemporary Artwork in Plaster

Sculpture "Muslim Woman" – Contemporary work in plaster by Arson
"Muslim Woman" is a contemporary plaster sculpture, mounted on a metal base (H. 60 cm x W. 40 cm x D. 20 cm), signed by the French sculptor Arson. This unique piece embodies a bold critique of oppressive religious dogmas, through a striking representation of a woman in a burqa.
🎨 Sculpted with unsettling realism, the burqa envelops the body in dark, opaque folds, symbolizing imposed invisibility and physical and symbolic confinement. But at the back, a provocative contrast is revealed: bare buttocks, covered with a shimmering gold leaf, emerge from the veil. This sensual and luminous detail celebrates freedom, the intrinsic value of womanhood, and denounces the hypocrisy of norms that repress the body while secretly sexualizing it.
🖼️ "Muslim Woman" is a politically engaged work, ideal for contemporary art collectors, activist galleries, or spaces dedicated to reflecting on identity and freedom. It challenges, disturbs, and invites us to think differently.
