Other artworks by Philip Hearsey
A simple geometric form, a single sweeping arc of cast bronze rising from an oak base and tapering to a fine point. It is not only pleasing to look at but its origins lie in something deeper than the shape alone.
The curved form embodies grace and movement, evoking a serene tension that invites reflection.
It might be a wave, or a segment of the ubiquitous circle, as though the rest of the form has been left for the eye to complete. It might be neither.… The arc is open enough to hold whatever you bring to it.
One face carries a painted blue patina over a heavily textured, pitted surface. The edge is natural bronze, brightly polished, and follows the curve from base to tip, so the form seems to dissolve into light where it thins. The reverse is a quieter grey, slightly iridescent and finely speckled.
The oak base is solid and rectangular; a plain counterpoint to the curve above it.

Philip Hearsey is an experienced British sculptor who has exhibited his work throughout the UK. Rather than engaging in specific theories, he is driven by an instinctive urge to progress at his own pace and focus on making things. He turns observations and visualizations into 3-dimensional realities, harnessing his specialty in sandcasting to make sculptures that engage the quality of bronze as a noble material in its own right. Hearsey's pieces showcase smart simplicity, intriguing shapes and a tactile touch.
