About this artwork
Originally carved from one block of Ancaster lime stone, and later on cast in bronze resin, the sculpture shows and uses expressively the cramped and compressed nature of the medium of stone.
As the sculpture is apprehended by walking around it , one will discover the changing , and ambivalence of that close encounter between man and woman: form one side the woman appears protective , and from the other side she looks slightly taken aback ; while… the man appears from that same view like a child ( a very large head proportionally), and very much the initiator and the demanding one.
This bronze resin sculpture can be commissioned to be cast in bronze, at approximately 3 times the price with a 6 weeks waiting time; ask for an exact quotation.

« Beauty to me is simplicity, clarity, concentration and must extend beyond decorative prettiness. Beauty holds contradictions, tensions, and ambivalence, it is a balance kept despite conflict. »
