Three friends
Medium: Resin
Edition of 20
Mounted on shellac varnished board
Framed H720mm X 500mm
This bas-relief sculpture portrays a trio of figures intertwined in an intimate embrace. The figures are sculpted in smooth, flowing forms that capture a sense of movement and tenderness. Their bodies blend together, almost merging, which creates an impression of unity and connection. The stylized figures lack distinct facial features, focusing instead on the expressive forms of their bodies, emphasizing the emotional bond between them.
The sculpture is set against a wooden background, which provides a warm, natural contrast to the cool, stone-like texture of the figures. The gentle curves and organic shapes lend a softness to the piece, evoking themes of friendship, togetherness, and harmony. The absence of sharp lines or defined details enhances the sculpture’s dreamlike quality, allowing the viewer to focus on the feeling of closeness shared among the three friends.
Not suitable for outdoor display.
