Further information
About this work: For Eamonn Higgins, experimentation is a fundamental element of his artistic process. For this sculpture, he applied a patination using the torch technique, with a combination of traditional patina acids and dye oxides.
In his artist’s statement, the Eamonn Higgins comments: ‘Obsessing over technical experimentation has informed the abstraction of my sculpture. In truth I am an abstract artist working within the framework of animal or human figurative. This muscular canvas holds my expression. To create a sense of intimacy, to draw you in to my personal aesthetic. I hope to preserve our sense of self value through a reflection of the human experience.’ (Eamonn Higgins 2021)
