{"product_id":"speak-no-evil-abstract-bronze-sculpture","title":"Speak No Evil Abstract Face Bronze Sculpture – 40.2 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Speak No Evil” is a contemporary bronze of a stylised face seen in profile, a single finger raised to the lips in a gesture of silence. The head is fragmented and roughly modelled, with planes that open and close like folded paper, and the textured patina is lifted by lighter highlights on the raised edges. Standing 40.2 cm tall on a dark square base, it is a thought-provoking piece with a strong vertical silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Artistic Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title refers to the proverb of the three wise monkeys, “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”, here distilled into one human gesture. By breaking the face into angular, overlapping shapes, the sculptor turns a familiar sign into an abstract composition that changes as you move around it. Seen from the front it is almost architectural; seen from the side, the hand and the profile become clear, a contrast that keeps the sculpture interesting long after you have first noticed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abstract face with a finger raised to the lips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textured patina with lighter highlights (as photographed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark square base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H × W × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 40.2 × 13.1 × 17.8 cm (15.8 × 5.2 × 7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 4 kg (8.8 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Display Ideas\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace it on a bookshelf, a console or a desk in a contemporary living room, study or office.
