Bronze Male By Cedric Wentworth

A highly textured example of Cedric Wentworth’s vision, this brutal bronze nude demands attention.

Artist Statement: I have been working with industrial steel forms including I-beams, steel plate, rail, tubing, etc. These elements are put together to create alien, often discordant, environments that are massive in scale and feeling. Within these alien environments bronze figures (sometimes greatly abstracted) attempt to make their presence noticed. At the root of this vision is the uneasy relationship between the figure and its spiritual and physical environment. The work has been labeled Postmodern by English art historian Edward Lucie-Smith because of these irreconcilable qualities.The strange placements of the figures in my paintings and sculptures are visual metaphors alluding to the contemporary spiritual and moral crises confronting the human species.
