Hers is nothing if not a unique interpretation of the instantly recognizable human body, with the clues to the identity of the contemporary figurative sculpture artist behind ‘Guardian’ giving more away when we describe how the artist responsible is known to take the energy and grace of the dancer or gymnast as her starting point, before going on to craft masterly bronze evocations of life thereafter. And that’s before we mention the stylish juxtaposition of smooth and textured surfaces which forge to create a strong sense of movement and personality within each three-dimensional construct.

Of course we’re talking about the justifiably acclaimed and much-collected Jennine Parker, who returns this Spring 2016 with the advent of her very latest bronze-cast sculpture witnessed here and which stands some 5” x 13” in dimension. Offered as a strictly limited edition study, there are but 195 Parker-monikered iterations coming onto the open market this season, which we envisage will be quickly snapped up by both loyal fans and serious collectors or her work alike now that it’s in the public domain.
