Judy Brady Sculpted Ceramic Head

About the Item

The UNTITLED portrait sculpture has a quiet yet powerful and commanding aura. The viewer cannot be around or near it without feeling its presence. It has a very classical approach in the large straight bridge of the nose and the head of curly hair that is reminiscent of ancient Roman busts. The face is not, however, Classical in that the nose is a bit twisted and one eye is smaller than the other. There is a very soulful look on the face enhanced by the downcast eyes and raised eyebrows. A hint of Giacometti's famous walking figures rests in its large size and tall lean look despite the fact that Giacometti had smaller heads in order to suggest great visual distancing and isolation from the viewer whereas this sculpture absorbs and embraces the viewer.
