Backflip by Wilfred Pritchard (b. 1970) Made from Bronze. 330 cm (H) x 122 cm (W) x 113 cm (D) Edition of 3

Backflip by Wilfred Pritchard is a bold and thought-provoking bronze sculpture by Wilfred Pritchard. This life-sized work depicts a human skeleton mid-backflip over a gymnastic pommel horse, an extraordinary blend of anatomical realism, athleticism, and surreal humour.

Pritchard’s signature style fuses classical sculptural technique with contemporary wit. The skeletal form is rendered with precision, each bone meticulously cast in bronze. Suspended in an acrobatic arc, the figure appears weightless, defying both gravity and expectation. The juxtaposition of death and motion evokes themes of impermanence, resilience, and the joy of movement, despite the odds.

At over three metres high, Backflip commands attention in any outdoor or indoor setting. Its durable bronze construction makes it perfectly suited for gardens, courtyards, or public art installations. Playful yet profound, the sculpture is a celebration of form, motion, and the unexpected.

This is one of only three in the edition, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a striking and memorable work by a distinctive contemporary artist.
