About the Item

Frances Semple’s beautiful and elegant sculptures often appear in motion. Defying gravity, a horizontal figure appears to float on its back above its shadow. This table top piece is made of resin and has a black wood base. Is the title a reference to the biblical use of the word void which means a ‘place of formlessness or emptiness?’ Edition four of nine. Also available in bronze, ask for pricing. “One of my long-standing curiosities is the way internal and external forces pass through our lives leaving their mark like weather on a landscape. I use the human figure as a vehicle to explore the form and textures from these observations." Frances Semple Born in 1956 in Scotland, Frances Semple grew up in Brampton, Ontario. She studied sculpture and mould making at the Ontario College of Art and continued her studies in Florence, Italy and Edinburgh, Scotland. She acquired a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver. She has exhibited throughout Canada and in the U.S. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections.

"Alicia Graf 22" contemporary bronze table sculpture figurative dancing elegance
Located in Kowloon, Hong Kong
Alicia Graf 22 is a bronze sculpture with black and white patina, it is connected to a steel base. The edition size is 8. This sculpture stands on shelf and cannot be fixed on wall. Joan’s latest sculpture series of female figures brings an out-of-the-box approach to sculpture creation. The small vivid women figures linked or bonded to their pedestals; the figures are delicate and intriguing representation of a woman’s mind and soul yearning for liberty, freedom, a moment of tranquility from busy daily life, or a space that she could spend the time totally with herself and for escaping from the routine and monotony. The woman made of bronze is warm and sensual and dances in/on a structure of rusted iron. She observes the world from her/ours solitude, from this vertiginous watchtower (metaphor of life, universe) rusted because the inexorable time. The base rises impressively, creating a contradiction between both pieces. However, in Joan’s work the geometrical base and the figure find a surprising harmony.. BIOGRAPHY OF JOAN ARTIGAS PLANAS...
