Blue Torso Sculpture

I walked past a shop window in North London selling shop window fixtures, including mannequins for displaying clothes. After carrying home this mannequin on the Tube, I gave her multiple coats of Stuart Semple's Easy Klein blue, an ultra-pigmented acrylic paint, in homage to Yves Klein's similar figures. Recently back from time walking in Asia, I was inspired by the Japanese art of of Kintsugi, in which gold is used to put broken pottery back together... stronger and more beautiful. The fine gold lines also suggest energy flows around the body, a life force. The finished piece has a quiet but intense presence, a repurposing of commerce into serenity.
