About the Item
This dynamic bronze and subtly polychromed sculpture by Abbott Pattison interprets the dramatic moment of the Rape of the Sabine Women—an iconic episode from Roman mythology—in a distinctly abstract and geometric style. The figures are rendered with expressive motion, their forms interwoven in textured bronze with restrained coloration that enhances the emotional gravity of the piece. In addition to being signed in the bronze the sculpture retains an original hand written paper label with the title and artist signature.
A compelling example of Pattison’s fusion of myth, modernism, and architectural abstraction, this sculpture is mounted on a white marble base and signed “A Pattison” in the cast. A museum-quality work that reflects both historical narrative and Brutalist aesthetics.

This is mainly abstract with some graphic or architectural elements and is so delightful that mythical creatures demand to be considered. It cries out to be touched and held, looked at and caressed. The beautiful patina on the surface gives voice to the many hands that have done these things.
