Description
Faust Bronze Dust Fantasy Collector Statue 24 x 27 x 33 by Idyllis. Faust or the confused relationship between a master and his creature. I found it poignant to imagine the Disciple with the kind of powers of seduction that would leave the master, thus caught in the trap of the stratagem, with no other choice than to behave pleasantly, almost benevolently, towards his slave. The young woman, seemingly submissive, actually cleverly capitalises on her charm to escape the sharp claws of a guileless devil. In the words of the artist herself... Having been inspired by the countless legends of Brittany, I have always been rapt by epic tales and fantasy fiction. My painting reflects a quest for my true nature a quest thats only just begun. My love of matter and my admiration for the great masters of the past, such as Vermeer and Rembrandt, have convinced me of the extraordinary richness of the world of oil painting. So youll also find my first oils in among my other work... I sincerely hope this journey into my imagination will transport and delight you. Made up of 6 different models, the statuettes in the "Bronze Dust" collection have been produced from a combination of different resins of excellent quality, to which real bronze powder has been added. It takes 10 to 20 moulds to make each statuette and render all the fine details of the artists original sculpture or drawing. Following the delicate operation of assembling its various parts, each statuette is then carefully hand-polished with steel wool to bring out the sheen of the bronze, before the final stage of applying a patina, also by hand. It, therefore, comes as no surprise to learn that, after such a lengthy and painstaking production process - a guarantee of the quality and originality of our statues, we have limited the worldwide availability of each model to 600.
