Under Pressure: Corpora (2025) Original Clay Sculpture by EJ Mack

Solid ceramic bust of a male and female head and shoulders, his mouth against her throat, entwined in an everlasting, passionate embrace. Finished with black iron oxide to enhance shadows, depth and pressure points. The ultimate sculpture for lovers of passion and everlasting entanglements.

Inspired by the works of Italian Renaissance sculptor, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and in particular his ability to sculpt flesh that is being seized and restrained by powerful hands, these works presented as part of the ‘Under Pressure’ series seek to evoke those innermost human emotions that resist simple definition. They are each designed to stimulate an entirely private and personal response in the viewer, one that is as individual as each of us are.
