A bigger than life bronze sculpture is exhibited at Downtown Vancouver sponsored by Chali-Rosso Art Gallery.
A faceless woman to symbolize all women.
The height is 360 centimetres equivalent to more than 11 feet. It weighs 500 kg equivalent to 1100 lbs.
A Woman Aflame. An artwork that must be appreciated from every angle.
It reveals mysteries to anyone who takes the time to explore her in more detail.
A woman’s mystery is her true beauty.
Her body has so many drawers representing the concealed subconscious, holding secrets, sometimes even from herself. The drawers are slightly ajar, indicating some access, but only if you are ready to explore the content. Her left arm extends to the sky, her body leans back. The front of the sculpture does not reveal that she is being supported by a crutch from behind. The crutch is her power made possible with unseen aides. Her elegant, graceful demeanour conceals the passion and desire that the flame represents. Perhaps, it serves as a reminder that all is not always as it appears.
“The one thing the world will never have enough of is the outrageous – Salvador Dali.”
thanks for the many views of this sculpture and the thoughts – esp on the drawers – what a cool piece of art!!
Thank you. I love Dali. It represents in time for international Women’s Day.
HI – I LIKE A LOT OF DALI’S WORK TOO – BUT I KNOW A FEW OLDER FOLKS (VERT GENERATION) WHO HAVE SOME ANNOYANCE WITH DALI THE PERSON AND SOME OF THE SHENANIGANS WITH THE SELLING OF HIS ART AND REPLICAS BACK IN THE DAY – HMMM
