6 September 2023 - 31 January 2024
Mallin-Davies' sensual curves expand with power and delicacy akin to a calligraphic gesture, a painterly late Renaissance touch, of a prehistoric engraving.

In the world of art, the use of bronze as a medium to depict the human form is often associated with a sense of strength and solidity.

However, artist Joanna Mallin-Davies skillfully challenges this stereotype, transforming bronze into an extraordinary medium for conveying sensuality and delicacy in her nude sculptures.
When one observes Joanna's sculptures, the sensation of power and robustness that might be expected from bronze is surprisingly transmuted into a subtle dance of sensuality and grace.

Her female nudes embody the essence of beauty in a way that is simultaneously bold and delicate.

The sensual curves of her works expand with a mannerist grace, defying expectations and giving birth to a new definition of elegance. It is as if the bronze itself bends to the artist's will, shaped to convey the essence of the human in all its forms and nuances. What truly makes Mallin-Davies's sculptures extraordinary is her ability to capture the moment, to immortalize the instant when sensuality reaches its peak. Bronze, inherently a resilient material, thus becomes the means through which human vulnerability, passion, and tenderness are expressed.

It is as if the artist knows that true beauty resides in the complexity of the human experience, in the balance between strength and fragility, and between power and delicacy. Through her sculptures, Joanna Mallin-Davies invites us to contemplate and celebrate this inherent beauty, encouraging us to explore the intimacy of the human soul through the sensitive eye of bronze.

In a world of art often dominated by traditional materials, Joanna Mallin-Davies demonstrates that bronze can be a medium of extraordinary versatility and expressiveness. Her works remind us that true art knows no boundaries, and that sensuality and delicacy can flourish even in the most unexpected forms.
