About the Item
Embrace (2) is a fired, constructed and painted clay sculpture by Patricia Volk, dimensions are 34 × 60 × 42 cm (13.4 × 23.6 × 16.5 in).
It is a unique signed piece and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
Abstract sculptures by Patricia Volk are the result of a special fusion of two elements, namely form and colour. In order to find the ideal line, which for the artist is a simple and dynamic line, she coils and cuts pieces of clay, her favourite material, at the start of her creative process. After being fired, the components are put together to form the sculpture's final shape.
Patricia uses acrylic paint to decorate her sculptures, drawing inspiration from the American tradition of painted fired clay. She carefully considers the colour scheme before making an intuitive or subjective decision. The sculpture's shapes, as well as the balances and contrasts between strength and fragility, stability and precariousness, heaviness and lightness, are highlighted by the intense and vibrant colours used. They can convey a variety of concepts to the viewer, including peace, conflict, or a sense of motion.

Patricia Volk
Patricia Volk’s abstract sculptures are born from the unique combination of two elements, namely form and colour. The intense and vibrant colours used emphasise the shapes of the sculpture, the balances and contrasts between power and fragility, stability and precariousness, heaviness and lightness. Patricia Volk is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors, an old English organisation promoting excellence in sculpture, and an Academician of the Royal West of England Academ. Her work was recently featured in the book “50 Women Sculptors”, alongside that of very famous artists such as Camille Claudel, Niki de Saint Phalle and Louise Bourgeois. “My obsession is catching a very simple form or line, primarily, then enhancing it with colour. Sometimes I use juxtapositions of two forms that I hope suggest contradictions of strength and fragility, stability and precariousness – like the relationships between human beings.”

ARTIST STATEMENT
My work passionately reflects my Mexican cultural roots. The art forms appear and are created as stories in the round as I transform and mutate a magic fusion of colors, shapes and a way of life into them. I often use faces joined by zigzag or curved lines. Flower petals characteristically fashion the idea of dealing with one’s aura. Some of the vessel forms I use (the goddess series) are used to symbolically connect earth to women… a container used for nutrients of survival.
My work also speaks of healing. Pieces are created to capture great depth of emotion, celebration, suffering, and cultural bonding.
