About the Item
"Torse Torsade" by Nicola Godden is a captivating original figurative bronze sculpture that mesmerizes viewers with its fluid forms and dynamic composition. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this limited edition piece showcases Godden's mastery of form and her ability to evoke emotion through abstract expression.
At the core of the sculpture stands an abstract female figure, its form twisting and turning in a mesmerizing dance of movement. The curves and contours of the figure suggest grace and strength, while the striking blue hue of the bronze adds a sense of depth and vibrancy to its surface.
Perched atop a square steel base, the sculpture exudes a sense of balance and stability, despite the dynamic energy of its form. The juxtaposition of the organic shapes of the figure against the geometric lines of the base creates a visually captivating contrast.
The medium of bronze lends a tactile quality to the sculpture, inviting viewers to explore its surface and appreciate its intricate details. Each twist and turn is meticulously rendered, from the delicate features of the figure's face to the flowing lines of its limbs.
"Torse Torsade" is a testament to Godden's skill and creativity as an artist. Whether displayed in a gallery or as a centerpiece in a private collection, this sculpture invites viewers to contemplate the beauty and complexity of the human form, while also serving as a reminder of the enduring power of artistic expression.
Artwork is for sale at Signet Contemporary Art, Chelsea & online.
Artist biography:
Nicola Godden is a British contemporary sculptor, boasting over 30 years of experience working primarily in plaster and clay for bronze casting. Born in 1959, the Surrey-based artist has produced site-specific works with property companies and other organisations. Her first large commission was the Hammersmith Man figure in 1988. In 2012, the artist created the Icarus sculpture for the Olympic Village in London. The bulk of her work has been private work of various sizes exhibited in galleries in the U.K and Ireland. Specifically focusing on the human form, the artist’s works express the figure in both abstract and realistic styles. Weaving a narrative into each unique work, the artist focuses on conveying feelings and emotions. Nicola’s work has developed and changed as she has matured as a professional artist, impacted by the way in which she embraces the transitory phases of her life and pulls from various sources of inspiration. For example, during a marriage break up, her work changed from the calm, smooth and serene ‘Mother and Child’ and ‘Couple’ works. She began to make pieces full of energy and angst which reflected her feelings at that time. This is reflective of a deeply personal relationship with her work. Nicola’s ideas are elicited from many areas. This includes found objects such as flint or bone found while out walking. Dreams, the subconscious and mythology are themes which she also investigates. Additionally, the artist finds experiences while travelling equally inspiring. Most presently, her ‘Ikarus’ series is inspired by her experience of learning how to fly. Preferring to create with immediacy and spontaneity, the artist uses the mediums of plaster and clay that give the sculpture tangibility. She enjoys it when people touch the work. Starting with a base of metal supporting armature, aluminium wire is moulded into a rough shape. Lastly, clay and plaster are added rapidly to this form. The rich history linked to bronze casting is valued by the artist, who is deeply involved at each stage of the process.
“Most of my finished work is cast in bronze. Light reflects well off the surface and it can be irresistible to touch. Casting bronze is complex and time consuming and I try to be involved at each stage of the process; this metal is timeless and has its own fascinating history and, of course, should outlive us all. Over the last few years I have been excited by the mythological figure of Icarus and have produced a series of ‘Icarus’ pieces. These ideas began when I was learning how to fly (in an Ikarus C42 fixed wing Microlight aircraft) and the combination of man and wings is very compelling. I have created 13 pieces of sculpture in the ‘Icarus’ series so far.” – Nicola Godden
