Bronze Sculpture
Bronze sculpture, 'Impulse II'
The oxidized bronze sculptures of Emne Al-Haje consistently express an impression of graceful, ballerina-like movement, and 'Impulse' II is no exception.
Bronze sculpture, 'Roots'
This powerful piece by Lucia Prata features an elegant form that eloquently communicates the artist's ideas. Lucia uses the human form to represent a member of a culture, the legs twisting subtly together to become a root, symbolizing the origins of the subject.
Bronze sculpture, 'Fluidity'
Emne Al-Haje relates the human body to a spiral in this work, demonstrating the fluid continuity that exists between the two images. The lithe female figure arches back, as if reaching the apex of a specific series of dance steps - balanced between expansion and contraction.
Bronze sculpture, 'Woman II'
In an abstracted and expressive sculptural style Lucia Prata conveys the beauty and sensuality of the female form. Lucia's piece glows with the golden light of polished bronze, which imparts a life force to her delightful sculptures.
Bronze sculpture, 'Awakening'
Back arched seductively, toes pointing outwards in the apex of her stretch, this sculpture represents the subtle movements of awakening ("Despertar").
Bronze sculpture, 'Moonlight'
Moving freely under the cover of night, a dancer enters a moonlight stage to perform her magical dance. Emne Al-Haje casts her image in bronze, every contour delicately accented with esthetic elegance.
Bronze sculpture, 'Vertical'
A monumental piece to exalt the female form, the woman in this sculpture throws her arms in the air and her head backwards as if relishing an invisible breeze. Her image is cast in oxidized and brushed bronze by Emne Al-Haje, who captures the image with elegant simplicity.
Bronze sculpture, 'Equilibrium'
Body extended to the max, a woman executes a shoulder stand with effortless ease. Her body, lithe and aesthetic, shows perfection; her posture demonstrates fluidity and continuity. Emne Al-Haje casts her image in bronze with every contour delicately accented.
Bronze sculpture, 'Awakening'
This beautiful bronze sculpture explores the awakening of the modern woman. By Brazilian sculptor Urubatan, it depicts a young nude who leans on one knee and flexes her arms. She arches her back and turns to one side as though listening to the call of someone unseen.
Bronze and marble bookend, 'Hercules'
The course of knowledge is hard to stop, but may be detained for a while with this extraordinary bookend. Cast of oxidized bronze and set in marble, it personifies Hercules, the Roman name for Heracles, the greatest hero in Greek mythology.
