Barry Davies
Perseus' Foot

2019

About the Item

In Greek mythology Perseus was the son of Zeus and Danae also founder of ,Mycenae. Davies' respect for classical sculpture is evident in this depiction of Perseus' foot and highly decorative sandal. The main feature is the lion skin complemented with relief floral decoration. Although to be cast in bronze, the top surface of the leg actually has the texture of broken marble offering an interesting and unique combination of materials. The images show the master model that is made in plaster and mounted on a black granite base. The price stated is for one cast in bronze and also mounted on a granite base. There are a variety of patinas or colours to choose from - a detail to be discussed between myself and the client. This bronze sculpture is to be made to order with 14 to 16 weeks from confirmed order to collection date.

  • Nautilus
    Located in Oswestry, GB
    The Nautilus shell is an excellent example of mathematics inherent within lifeforms of the natural world. As Davies consistently uses the 'golden ratio' (1:1.618) to proportion his work, he thought it important to exemplify this in his subject matter. The Fibonacci sequence (where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers) and the logarithmic spiral are also inherent here. The bronze shell is mounted on a black granite base in a way that creates an optical illusion suggesting it is levitating above the base. This bronze Nautilus...
