Surrealist bronze sculpture of a woman with no head, one breast and one leg. Another sculpture in my continuing exploration of Neo-Surrealist themes. Twice runner-up in art competitions she always gets plenty of attention. Exhibited at Pure Arte art fair in Vigo, Spain in 2009, she was chosen for the front cover of the fair magazine, NOS.
Presented just like a normal bronze figure she is a real anomaly and it takes a while to take it all in. The brain keeps looking for the other leg and you end up staring her in the nipple because she has no face. It is the only point to fix on.
Her animated pose suggests she is involved in a passionate argument. Yet this cannot be possible as despite her body language, she has no mouth with which to explain. Her single breast and leg, narrow body and the lack of a head are disturbing to the eye, yet she remains strangely sexy. This dichotomy is the power of the piece, as your response to her as a woman, as a passionate woman, is at odds with her physiognomy.
She is a curious piece. One can only admire, never kiss, never talk to, never make love to. She is sexy, without sex. She is passionate but there is no possibility of passion with her. She is an enigma, a frustration, a freak. She prompts us to consider the impossibility of passion in our own lives.
