Brendon Murless, Emergence. Bronze Resin, Timber Plinth, From Edition of 40, 160cm high including plinth (Figure 75cm high, plinth 85cm high)
This piece by Brendon Murless is a bronze resin sculpture mounted on a tall timber plinth. The piece measures 160cm in total height, with the figure itself standing 75cm and the plinth 85cm. Created from an edition of 40, this figurative work captures a moment of introspection and quiet contentment, celebrating both the human form and emotional presence. Inspired by the feeling of emerging from the long winter and soaking up the first spring sun, the sculpture embodies renewal, warmth, and gentle awakening.
The sculpture depicts a woman with her arms gently crossed in a self-embrace, her posture suggesting comfort, reflection, and self-acceptance. Her serene expression conveys a sense of inner peace and satisfaction. It invites viewers to connect with the subtle narrative of calm and personal strength. Murless’s use of a blue-green patina adds depth and nuance to the surface, evoking both a naturalistic quality and an ethereal, almost meditative atmosphere.
Mounted on the tall timber plinth, the figure is elevated, emphasizing her presence. The contrast between the smooth, flowing lines of the bronze and the solid, earthy texture of the timber enhances the sculpture’s visual impact. Light interacts with the patina and contours, highlighting the gentle curves of the body.
Overall, Emergence transforms a simple act of self-embrace into a powerful statement of emotional and physical presence. A sculpture that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant, inviting reflection on themes of self-acceptance, tranquillity, and human resilience.
