Quartile by Robert Persey, Bronze, Signed, Number 3 from an Edition of 7, 63cm high, 41cm wide, 41cms deep, Abstract sculpture, Metal

This piece by Robert Persey is an abstract bronze sculpture, it rises dynamically from a flat bronze base. Its form loops and twists, creating a sense of movement and energy. Various protrusions jut out from the main loop, changing the direction and flow of the sculpture. Each angle presents a new rhythm, as the eye follows the uneven contours.

Persey embraces rough textures and irregular shapes, giving the bronze a raw, almost organic feel. The surfaces are deliberately erratic, yet the overall composition feels cohesive, with each projection and curve balancing the next. Light plays across the bronze, accentuating the highs and lows of the sculpted form.

Despite its abstraction, the sculpture engages viewers emotionally. The looping structure and jutting points convey tension and release, inviting viewers to trace the path of the bronze with their eyes. The piece feels both anchored by its base and alive with motion, as if frozen mid-transformation.

Placed on display, Quartile commands attention. Its compact size belies the complexity of its shape, drawing viewers close to inspect the detailed curves and textures. From different perspectives, the sculpture reveals new angles, emphasizing Persey’s skill in transforming bronze into a dynamic, tactile form.
