David Backhouse (b. 1941) Nude Bronze Statue
About the Item
This impressive near life-size bronze statue named ‘Bertha’ is made by British artist David Backhouse. It was originally made for his exhibition at the Alwin Gallery in London in 1979. It depicts a crouching nude female in spectacular detail and is inscribed with the numbers ‘1,1’ making it a one-off piece. Signed by the artist, this bronze sculpture has a beautiful patina and a dramatic stance reminiscent of designs associated with the Art Deco period. It is a striking sculpture to bring elegance to an interior or garden.
Considered one of Britain’s most respected sculptors, David Backhouse has a fascinating artistic career. One of his most famous works include the ‘Animals in War’ Memorial on the edge of London’s Hyde Park, a powerful tribute to all the animals that served, suffered and died alongside British and allied forces in conflicts of the 20th century. Throughout his career, he has held four one-man exhibitions in the spectacular Orangery set within the grounds of London’s Holland Park and exhibited across the USA and Europe.
