The last hug
Bronze on Stone Limited Edition of 3 Size:15 cm x 13 cm x 12 cm Sometimes I see praying mantises close to my home. I always wonder about the implausible, graceful shape of their bodies. The long, arched, grabbing arms with deadly spikes. Like a living, art deco-inspired, deadly sculpture.I heard earlier that a praying mantis can catch smaller lizards. I wanted to cast this in bronze. The moment of grabbing. The last hug of the lizard. Sculpted in Zbrush. Prepared by traditional lost wax casting process.
