I Spirit by Teresa Wells, Bronze on Stone covered base

Life size bronze sculpture of a female figure suspended in the air, with her spine arched over and head thrown back.

I Spirit by Teresa Wells, Bronze on Stone covered base, Edition 1 of 9, 180cm high by 100cm wide by 130cm deep, Figurative sculpture

Capturing the essence of liberty, ambition and hope, I spirit is a life-size bronze sculpture (limited edition of nine) on a steel support.

Teresa Wells MRSS, a British based figurative sculptor, has taken the classical pose of a ballerina, Cambre en Arriere and combined the curve of her body the Vaganova hand position to create a bronze sculpture, which appears weightless.

She employs an arc of stainless steel to project a barrier with no boundaries, a ray of light, adding emphasis to the artist original intent, that leap into endless possibilities.

I Spirit by Teresa Wells was hired from The Sculpture Park for use in BBC1’s Dracula

Teresa Wells creates emotive figurative sculptures in bronze, that celebrate man’s physical and emotional survival over adversity. Inspired by the question “How do Humans Behave”, she draws inspiration from the contours of athletes and ballet dancers to emphasise a physical strength, placing them in precarious poses to stress fragility. She employs an illustrative style that pertains to theatrical gesturing, with particular attention made in re creating detail in the face, hands and feet. This creates a powerful and spiritual force, creating reflection on one’s own psyche. When combined with geometric architectural supports, in steel and stone, she shows a contemporary approach to bronze, lifting it off the the plinth and making it appear less monumental and traditional.
