About the Item

This African figure sculpture, posing with her large leaf fan, could be titled "Dancing in the Heat" by viewers feeling the joyful life this delicate statue conveys. Her fluid short A-Line yellow dress, adorned with geometric blue and brown motifs, adds a touch of playfulness to her whimsical demeanor, further enhanced by her short haircut, The sculptor captured a graceful dance movement, visible through her hands placed on the opposite hip of her balancing leg as if she were in the midst of a choreographed dance step. Her other hand holds a large leaf that she may use as a fan.

Dancing Sculpture in Resin in the Style of Umberto Boccioni
Located in Pasadena, CA
Sculpture is at its most essential as a physical, tactile medium, and needs to be touched to be fully experienced.

This dancing sculpture, in gun metal patina finish resin, stands on its wooden base, featuring intricate details, height, singular twists, interstices, and curves, culminating in an energetic union that transforms the static and individual into a dynamic couple. As you let your hands wander, with closed eyes, you can sense fluidity in their movements, brought to life by soft, rounded lines. Every gesture and sweep emits a unique emotion, as if the two dancers were sharing a whispered conversation, inviting the viewer to witness their intimate exchange. By taking this sculpture home...
