Original bronze sculpture by Philip Hearsey stamped with monogram signature. The natural bronze edge is finely rubbed and lacquered for protection to prevent natural darkening if air reaches the bronze. Measuring 14cm x 18cm x 6cm.
| About | With a background in architecture, interior and furniture design Philip Hearsey is a self-taught sculptor specialising in sandcasting to make pieces which engage the quality of bronze as a noble material in its own right. Sculptures are intimate in scale and intended for the interiors of home, office or hotel. Casting in sand moulds is a simple and ancient method far removed from the sophisticated lost wax operation used by most art foundries. The sand-casting process is relentless and unforgiving – the foundry is no place for a delicate original. It denies a complexity of form that imposes a disciplinary and enriching simplicity. He cuts, carves, grinds or welds the cast bronze to create unique forms before invariably exposing the natural bronze or oxidising to produce the unique surface. |
