Description
Fortitude - Carl Payne (Solid Bronze Sculpture)
Carl Payne is a world renowned figurative sculptor and this stunning piece of his is the perfect illustration of the way in which his style is based on traditional tenets but has a bold contemporary edge. Here, in this solid bronze sculpture, you are able to see how unquestionable artistic mastery and technical skill is combined with an exciting modern vision and aesthetic. We think this piece in particular exhibits the manner in which his sculpted artwork takes inspiration from the female form, as well as from great artists such as Rodin, Alfred Gilbert and the Pre-Raphaelites. The wonderful thing is that Payne has taken his influences and, driven on by such inspirations, created something which only he could have created.
In Fortitude, the female figure rises elegantly to the sky. Growing out of a dark cube base, the statue-like sculpture lightens in colour as we move up to the torso. This figure has a great strength to her but also a delicacy, which is portrayed through the thin torso and arms. Arms and hair both flow to one side, as the figure also tilts her head over to one direction too. It is as though the figure is able to stand firm among high winds which blow her hair and tilt her to one side. Rising above the winds and holding her body upright and rigid, this figure represents a calm and unmoved strength. We think that Fortitude by Carl Payne gives the viewer confidence that they too can have the calm and quiet strength required to thrive in challenges one might face each day.
Carl Payne is a highly acclaimed sculptor who has completed work everywhere from the Queen Mary II ship to his local Britannia stadium in Stoke. His Sir Stanley Matthews statue at this stadium was even voted the best sporting statue in Europe! His figurative work is very much up there with the best in the country at the present time, so it is a great pleasure to be able to present this impressive piece to you.
