A sculpture stays still. The gesture inside it keeps going.
In this selection of bronze works, I explore balance, rhythm and the tension of a movement suspended. A stretched silhouette or a slight shift of weight can carry the feeling of an entire body in motion.
I leave surfaces visibly worked. Their marks hold something of the making: pressure, resistance, hesitation and the decision to stop. I want the viewer to feel both the weight of the material and the possibility that the figure might take another step.
I am Eugene Laguten, a sculptor based near Sofia, Bulgaria.
