Snail on Scissors by Frank Edmunds, Bronze, 26.5 cm (H) x 12 cm (W) x 8 cm (D), Limited Edition

Snail on Scissors is a whimsical and thought-provoking bronze sculpture by Frank Edmunds. Measuring at 26.5cm high by 12cm wide and 8cm deep. The piece merges everyday objects with natural life in a distinctly surrealist composition. The work features a meticulously sculpted snail perched atop a pair of upright scissors, transforming an ordinary moment into something quietly poetic and strange.

Through the contrast of sharp metal blades and the slow, organic form of the snail, Edmunds creates a sense of tension, balance, and absurdity. The bronze medium enhances this duality, its solid, timeless quality giving weight to a scene that feels fleeting and dreamlike. The fine detailing in the snail’s coiled shell and gliding form juxtaposes the rigid, mechanical lines of the scissors. The shapes inviting viewers to reflect on themes of fragility, danger, and resilience.

Compact yet visually engaging, Snail on Scissors offers a compelling blend of wit and craftsmanship. It stands as both a playful object and a meditation on opposites, speed and stillness, function and futility. Ideal for collectors of surrealist or conceptual bronze work, this piece adds a curious elegance to any contemporary art collection.
