Bronze Sculpture
Bronze sculpture, 'Modern Woman' (small)
For Urubatan, the modern woman is firm and muscular. Stretching her arms over her head, she poses with pride for the Brazilian sculptor. The motion lifts her firm breasts and lengthens the slender stomach in contrast to her generous hips and thighs.
Bronze sculpture, 'Movement'
Like a gentle breeze, the spirit of dance flows through this sculpture by Emne Al-Haje.
Bronze sculpture, 'Daydream I'
As though lost in a daydream, she stretches her arms backward, extending into a ribbon of lithe imagination. Feminine features suggest the perfection of human movement - an important theme in the art of Emne Al-Haje, who studied dance for many years.
Bronze sculpture, 'Dance Stretch'
Poised en pointe, a dancer flexes her lithe body. Emne Al-Haje sculpts the graceful figure in the allonge, or lengthening pose. Sculpted from bronze, the work shows a handsome, oxidized finish.
Bronze sculpture, 'Breeze'
A sinuous silhouette is poised on pointe, the elegant body arching in a posture that seems impossible. Emne Al-Haje sculpts the effortless gymnast holding a crystal ball. With head thrown back in exultation and one arm flung skyward, the image exudes sheer joy.
Bronze sculpture, 'Walking I'
The everyday activity of walking is given modern, sensual curves in this oxidized bronze sculpture by Emne Al-Haje. A graceful, nimble figure prances on tiptoe and is balanced by outstretched arms that are flung in the opposite direction of the subject's movement.
Bronze sculpture, 'Dance Impulse'
Ballet's movements flow through the bronze heart of this sculpture. Emne Al-Haje excels in extracting kinetic forms from oxidized metal, its hardened essence softened by the artist's keen composition, resulting in a lustrous and emotive expression of singular beauty.
Bronze sculpture, 'Intersection'
Arching and extending lithe bodies, two gymnasts strike a pose of precision and balance. The slender forms intersect, each finding a complement in the other. Emne Al-Haje accentuates their fluid contours in a work of extraordinary grace. Titled "Interse��es" in Portuguese.
Bronze sculpture, 'Sensuality'
Sukaenah celebrates a woman's unabashed sensuality in an elegant bronze sculpture. The sinuous statuette traces every contour of the beautiful young nude. This hand-crafted product may present miniscule pores that are imprinted from the casting process.
Bronze sculpture, 'Angel'
Sinuous in its essence, this sculpture examines the flow of humans set in motion by the spirit of dance. Emne Al-Haje studied performing arts for years, gaining intimate knowledge of the optimal elasticity of the body.
