King & Queen by Quentin Clemence, Born 1956, Copper, Unique, 210cm high, Figurative, Couple, Royalty, Man, Woman, Sculpture
This piece by Quentin Clemence(opens in new tab) is a striking and imaginative work by British artist Quentin Clemence, King and Queen is a monumental copper sculpture depicting a regal male and female figure, both adorned with stylized crowns. Standing over two meters tall, this imposing piece exemplifies Clemence’s signature fusion of whimsy and surrealism, where formal iconography is given a playful, almost theatrical reinterpretation.
Rendered in hand-worked copper, the sculpture carries a sense of both permanence and lightness, the sheen and patina(opens in new tab) of the metal catching light to bring the characters to life. The elongated forms and exaggerated features evoke a dreamlike presence, as if drawn from a modern fairy-tale or myth. There is humour here, too, Clemence often blurs the line between reverence and satire, and the king and queen’s expressions and posture suggest a gentle parody of power and nobility.
As a unique work, this sculpture stands as a testament to Clemence’s sculptural creativity and craftsmanship. It would be equally at home in a contemporary garden setting, public space, or as a bold statement piece within a curated interior. King and Queen invites both admiration and curiosity, a conversation between tradition and absurdity, cast in timeless metal.
