Hills of the North Rejoice by Nicolas Moreton, Black Kilkenny limestone Stone, Unique, 91cm high by 138cm wide by 69cm deep

Hills of the North Rejoice by Nicolas Moreton is a powerful and sensual stone sculpture. Resting gracefully on a broad, low plinth, this unique piece evokes the reclining form of a curvaceous female body, rooted in the earth, yet radiating an ethereal presence.

Through its flowing lines and undulating curves, the sculpture seamlessly fuses abstraction with figuration. The smooth, sculpted surfaces recall both rolling hills and the gentle rhythm of a song, while also suggesting the softness and quiet strength of the human form. Rather than presenting a figure on display, Moreton invites viewers to encounter a body at rest, grounded, poised, and serene.

Moreover, the title Hills of the North Rejoice deepens the work’s lyrical and spiritual tone. It suggests a landscape not only observed but celebrated, as if the land itself were rejoicing in life, form, and feminine energy. As natural light moves across the sculpture, it highlights polished ridges and sinks into shadowed hollows. These changes create a dynamic visual experience that shifts with every viewpoint.

Moreton demonstrates his mastery of stone carving through a delicate balance of weight and movement, monumentality and sensuality. The sculpture feels both ancient and contemporary, solid yet emotionally resonant.

Ultimately, as a one-of-a-kind creation. Hills of the North Rejoice commands attention in any setting, be it a tranquil garden, public space, or contemplative interior. It offers a tactile, timeless meditation on form, femininity, and the enduring beauty of carved stone.
