“Angel Bear is a totem, a warning message for all men. » Richard Texier.
A few years ago, overwhelmed by the photograph of a polar bear drifting on a piece of ice floe and destined to certain death, Richard Texier imagines Angel Bear, a bionic and hybrid winged bear. This mythical animal more than 7 meters high, whose existence is threatened by global warming, refers to our constantly changing world but also echoes symbolically to our childhood companion. When the artist places it on its majestic plinth on the forecourt of the Gare du Nord, a space through which nearly 700,000 people pass every day, the bear comes to seize travelers to deliver a silent message to them on the fragility of the world and the climate issues. By adorning it with a red skin, it accentuates even more the message of alert and danger that it releases and underlines the nature of this being who, like man, is both powerful and fragile. Texier's ultimate dream is for this work to “find life within the human community”. By integrating this sculpture into the Art for All collection, the artist is now taking a further step towards this wish, by offering everyone the opportunity to acquire this piece with decisive stakes and symbolism.

Presentation
Richard Texier is a considered to be one of the most influential contemporary artists, he is a French painter and sculptor born in Niort on 28th June, 1955. He lives and works in Paris, in the Butte-aux-Cailles quarter, after his childhood in the Poitiers region. He graduated in art and architecture, he prolonged his studies by obtaining a PHD in visual arts at Sorbonne. In 1975, he moved to NYC and began a nomad career which he called « Ateliers Nomades ». He became an eternal wanderer through the creation of spaces worldwide.
Paris Match spoke about him "The popularity of this almost sexagenarian who feel one with nature, nomadic and constantly " amazed "with life is at his peak. He himself agrees having seduced a fashionable clientele of American, Belgian, and financial collectors but also tycoons from China, Singapore and Hong-Kong"(Elisabeth Chavelet, 2015).
His first exhibition was at FIAC in 1982, with the Claudine Bréguet gallery. In 1989, the French State ordered a series of tapestries on the theme of Declaration of Human and Citizen Rights of 1789 for the bicentenary of the French Revolution. The creations were displayed at the Opera Bastille, Arche de la Defense, the National Assembly, the Aubusson Museum, the European Parliament and the Luxembourg Museum in Paris.
Since November 6, 2015, his red bronze sculpture: Angel Bear, more than 7 meters in height which portrays a bear with wings, is placed on the Gare du Nord square in Paris. It evokes the downward spiral of polar bears due to global warming, one of his favorite themes.
