W.W. Hung
Deliverance 3/5 - tall, bronze, balancing, nude, male figure, outdoor sculpture

2021

About the Item

The unique contemporary figurative sculptures of William Hung often express the human condition and are imbued with emotion. This striking piece, cast in a gleaming bronze depicts two male figures--one is nude and balanced upside down on the back of the other who kneels at a precipice. The precipice, constructed of stacked cinder blocks, increases the tension implied in this act of deliverance, of being set free. This sculpture may be installed indoors or outdoors. It is number 3 in an edition of 5. Available on a commission basis. Allow 4-5 months of completion before shipping. "When I sculpt, I am reminded of my own physicality… I, too, have a body composed of organic matter, malleable and ever-changing, bound by the laws of the physical world, and subject to aging and decay… There is an immediate empathy.” WW Hung Hung studied architecture at the University of Waterloo where he earned a Bachelor of Environmental Studies and a Bachelor of Architecture in 1997. After graduation, Hung relocated to New York City and practiced architecture there and in Toronto for a number of years. In 2004, he became a member of the American Institute of Architects. He also began creating sculptural works in a unique combination of the figurative and the abstract. In 2015, Hung joined the Sculptors Society of Canada. Hung’s work is held in private collections in Canada, France and the US.

  • Spirit of Gravity - emotive, nude, female, figurative, bronze statuette
    By Richard Tosczak
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    In this thoughtful sculpture by Canadian artist Richard Tosczak, the gestures of a female figure, head bent, arms wrapped, are captured in bronze. Known for his beautiful figurative work, this piece retains the artist’s signature highly textured appearance and green-black patina. Tosczak’s pieces are first conceived on paper in quick pen and ink drawings. The spontaneity of this approach is evident in the almost abstract appearance of the sculpture. This piece is number three in an edition of eight. “The ineffable, vital qualities of the human spirit (is what I’m trying to communicate.)” - Richard Tosczak Born in Belgium, Richard Tosczak studied philosophy and sculpture at the University of Alberta. At that time, Tosczak began working in steel and was influenced by a number of his professors who appreciated the work of a British abstract sculptor, Sir Anthony Caro considered one of the greatest sculptors of his generation. Further studies were pursued in France with another internationally acclaimed classic sculptor, Martine Vaugel...

  • The Pleiades-Electra 4/12 - emotive, nude, female, figurative, bronze statuette
    By Richard Tosczak
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    Canadian artist Richard Tosczak captures the beauty and elegance of the human form in his sculptures. This piece shows a nude female in a strong pose, arms raised above her head. Masterfully cast in bronze, in an edition of 12. “The figurative works of the last few years are overtly anonymous and convey an intense introspection. Even those figures, inspired by dynamic activities such as dance and contact improvisation, give the impression they are turning inward into themselves.” Richard Tosczak Born in Belgium, Richard Tosczak studied philosophy and sculpture at the University of Alberta. At that time, Tosczak began working in steel and was influenced by a number of his professors who appreciated the work of a British abstract sculptor, Sir Anthony Caro considered one of the greatest sculptors of his generation.

  • Arethusa immerses herself in the Alpheus river - figurative, bronze statuette
    By Richard Tosczak
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    This large bronze statuette of a reclining nude with legs outstretched, arms tucked in and straining to sit up was created rapidly in gestures that verge on abstraction. The modern and dynamic formalism that departs from realism allows the viewer to focus on emotive qualities of pure form. This is number 1 in an edition of 8. Tosczak is a Belgian-born, Edmonton-based figurative sculptor. He studied philosophy and modernist sculpture, working in steel, at the University of Alberta where a number of the professors had a strong affiliation with Sir Anthony Caro and Clement Greenberg. Richard pursued further artistic training in the Loire Valley with Martine Vaugel...
