' Torso Collection ' - These life-size sculptures, of the male torso are constructed using watercolour paper and the surface is built up from acrylic media, pigment and metallic leaf. The photographs displayed do not always give the full effect of the 3-D and tactile quality of each individual work.
My torsos are created, working directly from the life model by making drawings or taking photographs to produce well defined musculature. They are highly textured to form a dramatic focal point within any gallery or domestic setting.
They are built from hand-made, heavy duty Watercolour paper and Acrylics. The works can be presented to be free-hanging, or fixed directly to the wall or in an un-glazed deep wooden frame, set against a complementary coloured card or textile background. A1 Format (70cm x 100cm).
Some of the Torsos can be presented with discreet back lighting to create a 'Theatrical' presentation as an interior design focal point (optional).
