John Dianga "Mother's Love" Sculpture

Includes an alabaster sculpture by John Dianga, "Mother's Love", depicting a mother with child. . Attracted to the materiality, structure and color grain of soapstone, this Kenyan sculptor is inspired to create the most extraordinary forms. Though Diang'a may deal with concrete subjects, he differs from many of his contemporaries, engaged in figurative work by placing an emphasis on finding the ideal abstract form. In doing so, he explores the full range of possibilities offered by the stone: steadfastness in balance, postive and negative effects, light and dark areas produced by the form, the layering of colours, and inclusion in the material. Appears to be in good condition, with no visible cracks, breaks, or repairs. ***Please note that this item is very heavy and this should be taken into account when bidding*** Measures approx. 12"h x 11"w x 11" deep
