In Mask of a Woman, Nicolas Holiber’s dense impasto forms the basis of a gestural bronze face.

The artist’s first bronze edition is an exploration of materiality and artistic intuition. Approaching sculpture through painterly processes, the distorted face is conjured entirely from the artist’s imagination. Replacing the push and pull of heavy acrylic with the malleability of clay, forms and features emerge organically from the cast.

“I use a growing set of tools to push and pull the mixture around – adding and subtracting. It’s exciting because it’s a very raw moment, and really, anything can happen. Body parts and faces start to appear.”

The edition is also available in a black patina finish.

Behind the scenes

portrait photo of artist Nicolas Holiber

Nicolas Holiber1 collaborationIn Nicolas Holiber’s art, painting and sculpture blur. As do abstraction and figuration. While his technique is ever-changing, process is the heart of his practice. He is keen to see how far he can push a material to find out what its limits are. With his paintings, Holiber starts by applying a thick acrylic mix onto canvas. Then he uses a range of tools to move the mix around. In his own words, "it's like drawing in 3-D." From these abstract surfaces figures organically emerge. Then, adding more layers of oil paint, Holiber constantly shifts the viewer's perceptions through colour and texture.
