Original artwork description:

These miniature sculptures are a playful departure from most of our previous work. My father and I were working on ideas for a chess set and my father built one of these small figures simply by flowing brazing rod freehand to create its head and body shape on which to hang a delicately foldformed copper cape. We liked the result, and left it with a long pin as a base, and eventually I made two more to go with it to make this piece.

Something about the quick, freehand process of forming these figures by flowing bronze with just a torch and the tension on the rod being melted lends itself to the creation - or discovery - of figures of great character, as you can see in the close-up photos.

The three figures stand on thin bronze rods, inserted into holes in a marble base. The figures can therefore be rearranged, and the piece will be sent disassembled to protect the figures.

Please note that international buyers will be responsible for VAT, if applicable.

Materials used:

bronze, copper, marble
