About the Item

Deconstructing the romantic and nationalistic feelings that Danes and tourists for that matter has for 'The little Mermaid' sculpture by Edvard Eriksen in Copenhagen - comes this rather disturbing and dark interpretation. It was created by an anonymous Danish artist during the 1970s or early 1980s. This 'mermaid' is made from melted rubber and plastic and it is like its counterpart placed on a stone of granite.

"Little Mermaid" contemporary bronze table sculpture figurative girl thinking
Located in Kowloon, Hong Kong
Little Mermaid is a bronze table sculpture, it is connected to a steel base. The edition size is 8. Joan’s latest sculpture series of female figures brings an out-of-the-box approach to sculpture creation. The small vivid women figures linked or bonded to their pedestals; the figures are delicate and intriguing representation of a woman’s mind and soul yearning for liberty, freedom, a moment of tranquility from busy daily life, or a space that she could spend the time totally with herself and for escaping from the routine and monotony. The woman made of bronze is warm and sensual and dances in/on a structure of rusted iron. She observes the world from her/ours solitude, from this vertiginous watchtower (metaphor of life, universe) rusted because the inexorable time. The base rises impressively, creating a contradiction between both pieces. However, in Joan’s work the geometrical base and the figure find a surprising harmony. BIOGRAPHY OF JOAN ARTIGAS PLANAS...
