Owanto

Owanto´s decision this year to enlarge her sculpture to human size introduces a new contemporary perspective to her work.

"This joy is very concrete even when it emanates from the soul. To cast it in bronze is to immortalize those absolute moments of communication, or are they moments of communication with the absolute?

Owanto started to sculpt in London in 1990 when she was expecting her first child.
Her friendship with Elizabeth Wright, R.C.A., a talented sculptress, sometime assistant to Sir Anthony Caro, was most enlightening. Elizabeth gave her a profound understanding of form and balance. Owanto spontaneously creates figures in terracotta which in turn become magnificent bronzes, both powerful and tender, telling us of her tangible world where the joy of parenthood is evident.
