This work continues my explorations of sculptures in sheet metal, giving emphasis to flowing organic lines, used to counter the hard edged quality of steel plate.  The main body of the sculpture has a textured quality, given to it by hand painting with acrylic paint, and a light layer of lime wax.
Auto lacquers, give a satisfying contrast  to this, and are shown jn the coloured parts. I tend to see human elements in a lot of my sculptures and this is no exception.

Paul Stein was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1956 , and lives and works out of his studio in Cape Town. He works in the medium of metal and mixed media sculpture, and his works are in collections both in South Africa and abroad. I work primarily within the direct metal approach to sculpture, as opposed to the cast metal method. My raw materials are sheets of steel or aluminium which I shape towards the desired end. I am drawn towards simplicity in form and the idea of stating an idea with minimum fuss. I find inspiration in many things, but my prime area of interest at the moment is using the medium of sculpture to express human intent. I am also interested in the idea of fragmentation, of form, movement and implied movement in sculpture. How do you alter the static nature of sculpture, and make it come alive?
