Rob Cerneüs - Torso on Plinth 2/6 (1996)
Signed and numbered (2/6) on the legs of the sculpture.
This bronze torso by Rob Cerneüs from 1996 depicts an elegantly abstracted female torso, with the arms and head deliberately omitted so that the focus remains entirely on the harmonious lines and refined proportions. The modeling is powerful yet subtly executed, with soft accents around the ribs, waist, and hips, giving the sculpture a natural and balanced presence.
The dark patina enhances the rounded shadows and gives the sculpture a warm, classic look. The torso rests gracefully on a narrow metal pin, creating a sense of lightness and visual floating. This contrasts beautifully with the robust natural stone base, which provides a solid foundation and makes the delicate superstructure stand out even more.
The sculpture exudes a timeless sensuality and quiet elegance, characteristic of Cerneüs's approach to the human body. Produced in a limited edition of six pieces, of which this is number two, it is a unique and collectible work of art for lovers of modern figurative bronzes.
