About the Item
An interesting patinated green bronze tabletop sculpture titled ‘Somersault and Entry’ by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills.
Part of the divers in motion series, this bronze is mounted on a square green marble base, making it perfect for decorative display in an interior.
While this is a motionless, three-dimensional piece, it demonstrates the talent of the artist, the diver cleverly captured in such a way that a creates the impression of movement as the figure lifts off from a springboard.
This sculpture formed part of John W. Mills' one-man ‘Divers’ exhibition at the Pyramid Gallery, York, in 2016. The collection captures the grace and athleticism of the sport, inspired and observed by the late artist’s lifelong passion for diving.
A handwritten sticker to the bottom of the marble base reads ‘JWM 92 / 3250.00’.

Throughout his distinguished career, Mills went on to received several prizes and accolades and many notable commissions.
Some of his most famous works include the monumental memorial to The Woman of World War II in Whitehall, London and the National Firefighters Memorial near St. Paul’s Cathedral, London.
