Dancing Stone II by Lilly Henry, Bronze Resin, Edition of 9, each 200cm high, Abstract sculpture
This piece by Lilly Henry is a contemporary abstract sculpture that explores the human figure through movement, balance, and material presence. Standing at an impressive 200 cm high, the work commands space while maintaining a sense of lightness and flow. Cast in bronze resin and produced in an edition of nine, the sculpture combines durability with a refined surface quality suited to both interior and exterior display.
The form suggests a human figure without defining it explicitly. Henry reduces the body to essential curves and vertical rhythms, allowing gesture to take precedence over anatomy. The sculpture appears to twist and rise, as if caught mid-motion. This sense of movement gives the work its title and animates the surrounding space, encouraging the viewer to walk around it and experience shifting silhouettes from different angles.
The bronze resin surface enhances the sculpture’s tactile appeal. Subtle variations in tone and texture catch the light and emphasize the flowing contours of the form. The material bridges the visual weight of bronze with the versatility of resin, reinforcing the work’s balance between solidity and motion.
Henry’s practice often focuses on the intersection between the natural world and the human body. In Dancing Stone II, the figure feels both organic and elemental, echoing weathered stone while retaining a distinctly human energy. The abstraction allows viewers to project their own interpretations, whether physical, emotional, or symbolic.
With its strong vertical presence and elegant abstraction, Dancing Stone II works well as a focal point in galleries, sculpture parks, and private collections. It offers a confident statement of contemporary figurative abstraction and reflects Henry’s refined approach to form, scale, and movement.
