About the Item
Nnamdi Okonkwo's stylized sculptures of women capture the pure joy of friendship and sisterhood. To create it, he first sculpts the figure in clay, then casts it in bronze using the lost wax technique. A hot patina is applied using compounds that are specifically formulated for bronze patination. The finished sculpture is sealed with clear lacquer. His ideas are embodied in fluid lines and simple shapes. It is a mode of expression that comes naturally to him, and it is straight to the point and devoid of pretension. Stylization also offers a greater avenue for the expression of universal themes and emotions. This allows him to broaden the scope of expression by transcending mere literal representation of the figure, provoking different thoughts and ideas, and giving the viewer an opportunity for introspection and contemplation.
Further, the big, rotund forms symbolize abundant life. It is an outward manifestation of a largeness of soul. The theme of womanhood is captivated by the noble characteristics which include: empathy, love, resilience, strength, etc., that are embodied in womanhood.

Nnamdi Okonkwo
Nnamdi Okonkwo is a sculpture artist born in Nigeria who calls Fayetteville, Georgia home. His art is driven by life experiences and emotion. Okonkwo says of his work, “In my indigenous culture as well as in many cultures, womanhood is venerated. There is an understanding that women share, even in a small way, with the creator, the sacred act of giving life. Perhaps this understanding of the dignity of womanhood inspires me to seek to honor women in my sculpture.”

Joie De Vivre, bronze figurative dance sculpture

This joyous in the round bronze can turn on its base, making for dramatic presentation and enjoyment that is interactive. It is based on the idea of the Three Graces which is often an allegorical subject in sculpture. Wein has done a contemporary feeling interpretation of this classic theme. Piece itself measure 12 1/2 inches and sits on a 3 1/4 inch base and is attached to its base at two points and it is a revolving or rather turning base.
