About The Artwork

Written by the art critic Patricia Preece: "This work shows two faces locked together in the most intimate way, but their gaze is strangely distant. The strength of the work is the tension that exists between the two heads which are bound together. the mother figure angles her cheek to her child in a responsive manner but faces away with her eyes fixed to the horizon. At the same time the child nuzzles the mother , but its kiss is a pout that tells us that it knows that the time for nurturing is over. The nurturer and the nurturer are also the rejecter and the rejected - to encapsulate this using such economy of means is an amazing feat. It is this that makes the figure truly modern. I love you , says the big heads, but it’s time you moved on - me and your dad have got things we want to do."

« Beauty to me is simplicity, clarity, concentration and must extend beyond decorative prettiness. Beauty holds contradictions, tensions, and ambivalence, it is a balance kept despite conflict. » Beatrice Hoffman is a German sculptor based near Oxford in the United Kingdom whose works have been extensively exhibited on a national level. Her art explores the universal themes relating to mythology, psychology, and spirituality, as well as mental states, relationships, human identity, maternal love, and solitude. Hoffman's abstract and figurative sculptures depict female figures, large, symbolic heads, and organic or geometric forms. She sculpts in clay and plasticine ,a nd casts in resin and bronze. Her sculptures are suited for the domestic square, the garden, or pubic spaces.
