Blast Piece – Running Man by Halliday Avray-Wilson, Bronze, Unique, 200cms high by 100cms wide by 65cms deep
Halliday Avray-Wilson, Born 1967, In Blast Piece, Running Man, Halliday Avray-Wilson explores force, movement, and the mark of the human body. The sculpture stands two meters tall. A heavy bronze block has been violently ruptured, as if torn apart by an explosion. From this fractured core, the shape of a running figure is blasted out, mid-stride, frozen in flight or escape.
The work is both solid and empty. The absence of the figure becomes just as powerful as the material left behind. Avray-Wilson redefines sculpture. He shifts focus from form to space, from presence to absence. The blast hole tells a story. It speaks of emergence, impact, resistance, and release.
The surface is rough and torn, like debris from an ancient event. It feels like a relic, a memory cast in metal. The piece is both abstract and figurative. It invites questions: What caused the blast? What is the figure escaping? Is this destruction, or transformation?
Avray-Wilson’s unique vision gives the sculpture weight and tension. It feels like a moment caught in time, a monument to motion, struggle, and change.
