Female Torso

Female Torso is made of bronze with a brown patina. It portrays a buxom female torso, firmly placed on a square base.

The sculpture is hollow, which gives it a new dimension and contributes to why the woman may be perceived as light, even with her exaggerated forms. The sculpture’s sensuality is ensured by its material and its smooth surface. The sculpture comes in three casts. It has, for instance, been shown in New York, Chicago and in Pietrasanta in Italy.
