Mark Bowman, Shell I, Bronze Resin, Edition 1 of 25, 44cm high by 90cm wide by 35cm deep

Shell I by Mark Bowman is a larger than life realistic bronze resin shell sculpture in beautiful blue patina.

The Sculpture:

A striking sculpture that transforms the delicate beauty of a natural shell into a bold and elegant work of art. This realistic piece captures every subtle curve, ridge, and texture of a seashell, magnified to an impressive scale.

The intricate detailing and smooth, flowing form evoke a sense of calm and connection to the ocean. The cool blue finish shimmers with depth, mimicking the play of light on water and adding a serene, almost ethereal quality to the sculpture.

While grounded in realism, the scale and presence of Shell I give it a contemporary, sculptural impact. It invites viewers to pause, reflect, and appreciate the quiet complexity of nature through an artist’s lens.

Both timeless and modern, this piece would make a stunning statement in a garden, coastal home, or interior space.
