Foster Willey"Resonance" Bronze Female Nude Sculpture with Powder Coated Steel Base2008
2008
About the Item
“Resonance” references Greek classical sculpture and modernist traditions. The female from is depicted as a fragment, introspective and animated. The surface of the sculpture is rich with texture revealing an expressive use of clay to describe the female form. The physicality of the figure is contrasted by the fragmentation and transparency of the work. The sculpture is intended to express our humanity in the broadest sense, defined both by an intangible inner sense of purpose and our tangible bodies that move us through time and space.
Recent awards include 1st Place at the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum’w 2023 RBJSE Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition, for his abstract sculpture “Wave.”
“My work is both abstract and representational. My interest in the figurative tradition and architectural ornament are central to my creative efforts. Of equal importance is the influence of the early modernist from which my explorations into abstraction have evolved.”
Foster Willey is a sculptor and public artist who maintains his studio in Detroit, MI. He is a new comer to the Detroit Art scene having recently moved to the Motor City with his wife, Valerie, an affiliate of the College for Creative Studies. Foster has participated in numerous design settings including large-scale projects for major municipalities. His professional affiliations include architects, engineers, landscape architects, lighting designers, fabricators, historians, graphic designers, and conservators.
“As a sculptor I am very interested in the built environment. Public Art and large-scale sculpture are exciting fields because of their range of expression and impact on our surroundings and the experience of daily life.”
Fosters commissions can be found in the Midwest and throughout the State of Minnesota, including St. Louis Park; The Bee Way, Plymouth; Winged Iris, Rosemount; Triskele, Owatonna; Regeneration, Minneapolis; Minnesota Menagerie and the Central Avenue Stelae.
