About the Item
An extremely decorative gold painted and patinated bronze finish tabletop sculpture depicting four synchronised divers titled ‘Fountain’ by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills.
Part of the divers in motion series, this original resin maquette is mounted on a round wooden base, painted to match. It is defined by its vibrant gold and patinated gradient and its distinctive horseshoe shape, making a striking sculptural display piece in any setting.
While this is a motionless, three-dimensional piece, it demonstrates the talent of the artist, the four synchronised divers cleverly captured in a tuck position to create the impression of movement as each figure lifts and somersaults.
A sticker to the base reads ‘Fountain No 2 BR/Wood (3,750)’.
John W. Mills (1933-2023)
John Mills was a highly celebrated English sculptor, celebrated across the globe for his contemporary statues, bronze figures and artistic maquettes.
Mills showcased a flair for sculpture from a young age, first exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1951 and then hosting his first one-man show at the AIA Gallery, London in 1959. Throughout his distinguished career, Mills went on to received several prizes and accolades and many notable commissions.
Some of his most famous works include the monumental memorial to The Woman of World War II in Whitehall, London and the National Firefighters Memorial near St. Paul’s Cathedral, London.
Following the sculptor’s passing in 2023, the contents of John W. Mill’s creative studio at his family home in Hinxworth Place, Hertfordshire were dispersed. This sculpture formed part of this curated collection, from which we selected several pieces, offering a rare chance to obtain original works made by the artist, including sculptural pieces for garden, interior and exhibition.
