The Benoto
« The Benoto » is an original work by Gabriel Lemaire Sicre, born of an industrial machine recovered in Graulhet, the former world capital of leather: BENOTO CH12 loading shovel, dismantled, cleaned, painted, and returned to a second life in which it no longer serves, it signifies. Gabriel Lemaire Sicre is represented by ARTDELION, an art agency in Paris. This work is not for sale. You should never tell a woman she is as beautiful as a Benoto, or tongues will start to wag.
