Bondage Girl Gina Bound to a Stool: An Erotic Nude Bronze - Signed J. Patoue

Patoue’s Bondage Girl Gina Bound to a Stool stands as a defining exemplar of his exploration into the interplay of constraint and eroticism. Eschewing mere titillation, he imbues his bondage girl figure with agency: Gina’s poised posture and slightly parted lips suggest that she is an active participant in her own surrender. In this, Patoue elevates the work from fetish object to nuanced portrait of consensual exploration, joining the ranks of his most celebrated erotic nude creations.

Parisian Roots and the Birth of a Sensual Sculptor

Jean-Philippe Patoue born 1948, in a sunlit apartment overlooking the Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris. As the only child of a concert pianist mother and an art-restorer father, his early life unfolded amid echoes of Chopin nocturnes and the gentle crackle of lacquered canvases. By age ten, he was sketching the graceful forms of dancers at the Opéra Garnier, and by sixteen, he had enrolled at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he honed his understanding of anatomy, composition, and the whispered sensualities of the human form.

A Moment Forged in Clay and Bronze

Within the vaulted confines of his Montparnasse atelier, Patoue embarked on what would become one of his most provocative statements: Bondage Girl Gina Bound to a Stool. Working from life-drawing sessions and his own vivid imagination, he modeled a wax maquette that captured both the grace of a poised figure and the tense intimacy of restraint. When every fold of skin and every coil of rope satisfied his exacting standards, he entrusted the piece to the Atelier de la Grande Métairie for the lost-wax casting that would forever render Gina in gleaming bronze.

Anatomy of Power and Submission

Gina’s body arcs with the subtle tension of a bowstring drawn taught. Seated upon a low, fluted stool, her wrists are bound behind her back by meticulously rendered cords that snake over bared shoulders and cradle her elbows. Her spine curves with equal measures of vulnerability and confidence, each vertebra suggested beneath the skin’s polished surface. The corset-like indentation at her waist underscores her lithe curves, while her blindfolded face tilts upward as though sensing a presence beyond sight. In this arrangement, Patoue transforms a moment of bondage art into a tableau of mutual trust and heightened awareness.

The Alchemy of Bronze and Patina

Under Patoue’s exacting eye, the lost-wax mold preserved every nuance from his original maquette. Following casting, the bronze was guided through a series of chemical baths that yielded a warm, burnished patina. Highlights crest Gina’s shoulders, cheekbones, and the taut cords that bind her, while the recesses—beneath her breasts, between her clasped hands—settle into rich umber depths. This interplay of light and shadow imbues the sculpture with an almost living pulse, evoking the subtle heat of skin and the weight of breath held.

Integrating Into Daring and Refined Spaces

Whether placed on a sleek steel plinth in a minimalist loft or nestled within a plush alcove in a daring bondage art–inspired salon, this statue commands attention. Its vertical silhouette and taut lines draw the eye upward, while the polished bronze glimmers under gallery lights or candlelit evenings. As part of a collection of erotic sculpture, Bondage Girl Gina acts both as centerpiece and whispered secret—transforming any room into a sanctuary of intimacy.

The Signature of a Master

Signed “J. Patoue” discreetly at the rear edge of the stool, Bondage Girl Gina Bound to a Stool bears the unmistakable mark of its creator. For collectors of the sculptor’s work, this edition represents the zenith of his explorations into form, feeling, and the potent dynamics of restraint. It remains a testament to Patoue’s lifelong quest: to marry classical discipline with daring modern sensibility, shaping bronze into stories of trust, desire, and the unspoken power of touch.
