About the Artwork

Modern contemporary abstract sculpture. Bronze double head statuette. For interior display. By the Modern Sculptress Glynis Owen who writes….

“An Intriguing piece. Look at one face of the sculpture and you see a male face, spin it around and you see a similar face but this time female. Not exactly a Janus head as only one face can be viewed at a time, but tantalizing nevertheless.”

Beautifully cast with an exquisite patina which perfectly reflects the sense of Art Deco in the spirit of the bronze sculpture.

Artist Comment

An American architect described my work most aptly when he wrote, "Her work travels the fluid line between figurative and abstract art" This sculpture of two abstracted heads exactly fits his description. I was searching for the point at which the head almost became an abstract shape but remained figurative. Rather as when a child adds a couple of dots to a scribble and the drawing begins to become identifiable as a face. Then a few more longer lines for hair and the face becomes a female face. I wanted an economy of line but for every line to be as restrained as it is effective in describing the features of each of the two faces.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
