"London-based artist Michael James Talbot creates beautiful sculptures of elongated women inspired by Greek mythology and Venetian masquerades."
These statues are actually quite tall, some even taller than 6 feet! I would love to see them in person, to really sense their weight and presence in the room. The length combined with the slender frame of the structure adds an interesting contrast between delicacy and balance. I also love the color and the murkiness of the pieces, making them seem antique, fragile and ancient.
"Talbot creates his captivating pieces by molding clay and casting each sculpture in bronze. He then proceeds to finish with chemical patination, adding a new sense of character to the already expressive figures. The artist says, "The human form gives me an endless source of inspiration. The subtlest of movements and expressions can be captured in the sculpture to portray a myriad of emotions and convey tension, drama, fluidity and grace. No other subject has this richness of emotional and spiritual content or the capacity to convey such a broad and interesting narrative.""
