Edition of 20
H:30 x W:12 x D:24 (cm)
The sculpture titled "Poise" captures the essence of grace, strength, and tranquillity. It depicts a woman, radiating natural beauty as she in a pose of effortless elegance. Her posture is as erect as it is relaxed, with her left leg gracefully arched over her right thigh, whilst her right arm finds comfort resting on the same. The casual positioning of her right hand suggests a comforting sense of peace.
Engaging the viewer from all angles, the sculpture achieves an exquisite contrast of shoulder levels, with her straightened left arm extending alongside her body, hand gently embracing the cushion behind to provide balance and poise. This action effectively elevates the left shoulder and clavicle, emphasizing the sculptural geometry of the human form. Through this, our view is naturally guided to the distinctly levelled hips and buttocks.
The intriguing angle at which her body is positioned illustrates, when viewed from behind, a dipping of the left buttock deep into the cushion, while the right side has a subdued elevation. Viewing her back, her right shoulder delicately slopes down, showcasing the human anatomy's subtle nuances.
Facing the distance, her gaze is seemingly fixed onto something unseen, possibly filled with contemplation or lost in a serene state of thought. One is invited to debate what secrets she holds within her stare. This inherent element of mystery further enhances the sculpture's captivating nature.
In every detailed nuance, "Poise” embodies more than just a woman's physical form; it encapsulates her strength, her calm, and her tranquillity. It is an artistic celebration of serene grace and femininity.
This piece was sculpted in a 10-week life sculpting session. This is the original in air dried white clay. The piece is available in stone and marble resin.
