Artwork Description

about this bronze sculpture

Hossein Azadi's "Prison of the Soul" series features bronze sculptures that delve into themes of entrapment and liberation. The primary medium is bronze, selected for its durability and capacity to capture intricate details.

Azadi utilizes traditional bronze casting techniques, beginning with detailed wax models that are subsequently cast in bronze. This meticulous process enables precise rendering of complex forms, resulting in unique and expressive sculptures.

The sculptures in this series are distinguished by their textured surfaces, where rough and smooth areas interplay to create depth and complexity. This contrast evokes a sense of confinement and the struggle for freedom, mirroring the emotional and psychological battles individuals face.

The use of bronze enhances the tactile quality of the sculptures, allowing light and shadow to interact dynamically across the surfaces. Azadi's attention to detail and powerful expression blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary conceptual art, making his work resonate profoundly with viewers.

The "Prison of the Soul" series comprises various pieces, each with unique dimensions and editions. For example, one sculpture measures 30 cm in width, 27 cm in depth, and 40 cm in height, and is part of a limited edition of three.
