Description

Chandan Das | Joy-2 | Bronze | H 26 x W 9 x D 5 inches (Delivered)

This bronze sculpture titled “Joy 2” by Chandan Das is a dynamic celebration of freedom, vitality, and exuberance. The artwork portrays a fragmented yet expressive human figure in motion, with arms raised upward and legs spread in a jubilant stance. The absence of a head and the stylized simplification of the body emphasize gesture and emotion over literal representation, allowing the viewer to feel the essence of joy rather than focus on identity. The torso, clad in a simple top and skirt, suggests ordinariness, while the exaggerated posture elevates it into a universal symbol of liberation and happiness. Cast in bronze, the sculpture carries both strength and permanence, yet its flowing form conveys movement and energy, as though the figure is caught in the very act of celebration. Resting on a textured base, the piece bridges solidity with a sense of upliftment, embodying the human spirit’s resilience and capacity for unrestrained joy.

This striking bronze sculpture captures a powerful sense of freedom and exuberance through its dynamic form and expressive posture. The headless figure, with arms raised high and legs in mid-motion, evokes a feeling of unrestrained joy and liberation. The artist has skillfully emphasized movement and emotion through the graceful curves of the body and the balance between tension and fluidity. The absence of the head draws attention to the universality of the emotion rather than the individual, allowing the viewer to connect with the essence of joy itself. Mounted on a rugged wooden base, the sculpture harmonizes strength and delicacy, reflecting the human spirit’s resilience and capacity for happiness. The textured bronze surface and earthy tones add depth and warmth, enhancing the sculpture’s expressive energy and timeless appeal.
