A large-scale sculptural work by Austin Productions titled "The Uesugi" and dated 1981, this Japanese-inspired figure commands the space with quiet authority. Its outstretched sleeves, elongated proportions, and serene expression give it a distinctly architectural presence.

The figure is cast in Durastone(R), Austin Productions' proprietary stone-based composite, and finished by hand, resulting in subtle variations in tone and surface texture. The warm brown and cream palette enhances the deeply modeled robe, symbolic detailing, and soft patina, creating the look and visual weight of carved stone.

Marked on the reverse "Austin Prod. Inc. 1981," the sculpture is presented on its original black base and has substantial physical presence, weighing approximately 16 pounds. Its scale makes it especially effective on a console, pedestal, or as a dramatic floor placement, where it can anchor a room without feeling ornamental.

Austin Productions became known in the 1970s and 1980s for bold, culturally inspired sculptures intended to complement modern interiors. The Uesugi exemplifies that approach, offering a piece that feels collected and intentional rather than decorative, with enduring appeal for designers seeking scale, depth, and restrained visual impact.

It stands 24-1/2" high x 17.5" wide x 6.25" deep. Sculptures may be cleaned with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
