Lady in Bronze

To Breathe & To Dance. Bronze ed of 3.

With international exhibitions under his belt, Dutch born artist and sculptor, Siene de Vries, immigrated to New Zealand in 1988 where he settled with printmaker wife, Saskia van Voorn and their two sons in picturesque Le Bons Bay, Banks Peninsula.

Producing largely figurative work on both a large and small scale, Siene’s sculpture tends toward the gestural, where evidence of the modeling process remains in the cast bronze. Lately, his bronze sculptures have dealt with themes relating to the human condition in a socio-political context. 

Placed prominently in Two Rivers, Siene’s bronze ‘To Breathe and To Dance’ draws the viewer in with her open arms, while suggesting an air of innocence through her downcast gaze. Attracting many admirers she is a striking example of Siene’s work.
