About the Item

Modern Bronze "Balancing Woman" (Mujer Equilibrista), Style Abigail Varela "Balancing Woman" (Mujer Equilibrista)—Modern Bronze Sculpture of a Female Acrobat in the Style of Abigail Varela (Venezuelan, b. 1948) A graceful and expressive modern bronze sculpture depicting a female acrobat in suspension, rendered in the stylized, voluptuous form associated with Venezuelan visual artist Abigail Varela. This commanding yet whimsical figure, titled Mujer Equilibrista ("Balancing Woman"), evokes themes of strength, poise, and femininity through its abstracted anatomy and lyrical posture. The bronze woman, with exaggerated hips, elongated limbs, and a serene upturned face, hangs by her hands from a detachable 19-inch diameter metal hoop. The sculpture is composed of two separate elements: the circular ring and the figure, which is cast in dark-patinated bronze with a smooth, tactile surface. The full composition measures 48 inches high by 19 inches wide and 7 inches deep; the bronze figure itself measures 27" H x 7" W x 5" D. Striking both in silhouette and scale, this work reflects the influence of Varela’s celebrated archetypes, honoring feminine power, gravity, and elegance. Ideal for indoor suspension from ceiling or wall-mounted hook. Unmarked. In excellent vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age. A powerful statement of the school of Abigail Varela & modern Latin American sculpture. This work is made in two detachable pieces: the 19" diameter ring and the entire sculpture, which measures 48" h x 19" w x 7" deep. The sculpture itself measures 27" h x 7 w x 5" d.

Located in Kowloon, Hong Kong
Alicia Graf 22 is a bronze sculpture with black and white patina, it is connected to a steel base. The edition size is 8. This sculpture stands on shelf and cannot be fixed on wall. 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...
