I hope everyone is having a good week .
Today's post is about a bronze bust that I had completed in 2002. This piece was part of a series of head studies that I was involved in about 10 years ago. These studies were primarily about facial expressions and making the clay modeling more forceful. A few have survived from this period such as the one illustrated in this post.
The original inspiration for this series was Xavier Messerschimdt's work but as a friend mentioned to me Leonardo is definitely in there as well.
You'll notice also the artifacts of the casting process are left intact on the bronze. This is exactly what a bronze sculpture looks like after the ceramic shell material is removed. The sprues(which feed the casting), vents and the surface fire scale were retained as part of the finished piece.
This sculpture will be added to the Bronze Gallery soon.
I'll be back next week. Have a great weekend. Cheers.
