About the Item
Bronze Cog is a bronze sculpture by Patricia Volk, dimensions are 46 × 46 × 46 cm (18.1 × 18.1 × 18.1 in).
The signed piece, it is part of a limited edition of 9 editions and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. In this sculpture, soft, flowing curves and robust shapes interweave in a serene and balanced composition. This artwork stands out within the artist’s body of work, as she opted to cast it in bronze, introducing a new dimension to her artistic exploration.
Patricia Volk’s abstract sculptures emerge from the unique interplay of form and colour. Her creative process begins with cutting clay — her preferred material — in pursuit of the perfect line, one that she describes as simple yet dynamic. After firing the individual elements, she assembles them to build the final structure of the sculpture. She notes: “There is no pre-thought at all, it either works or it does not. There is such simplicity in a good line that it is completely underestimated, because it is so incredibly difficult […] but so aesthetically pleasing.”
Inspired by the American tradition of painted fired clay, Patricia applies acrylic paint to her sculptures, selecting colours both intuitively and thoughtfully. The vivid and vibrant hues enhance the sculpture’s form, highlighting the interplay of strength and fragility, stability and precariousness, weight and lightness. Her compositions evoke a variety of emotional responses, from tranquility and tension to a sense of movement.
Patricia Volk is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Sculptors (FRSS) and an Academician of the Royal West of England Academy (RWA). Her work was recently included in the book 50 Women Sculptors, alongside renowned figures such as Camille Claudel, Barbara Hepworth, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Louise Bourgeois.

Patricia Volk
Patricia Volk’s abstract sculptures are born from the unique combination of two elements, namely form and colour. The intense and vibrant colours used emphasise the shapes of the sculpture, the balances and contrasts between power and fragility, stability and precariousness, heaviness and lightness. Patricia Volk is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors, an old English organisation promoting excellence in sculpture, and an Academician of the Royal West of England Academ. Her work was recently featured in the book “50 Women Sculptors”, alongside that of very famous artists such as Camille Claudel, Niki de Saint Phalle and Louise Bourgeois. “My obsession is catching a very simple form or line, primarily, then enhancing it with colour. Sometimes I use juxtapositions of two forms that I hope suggest contradictions of strength and fragility, stability and precariousness – like the relationships between human beings.”
