Sitting Figure V

1962

Sitting Figure V is a patinated bronze sculpture by Lynn Chadwick completed in 1962. The work depicts a seated figure rendered in Chadwick's characteristic abstract and geometric style. The patinated surface creates rich color variations across the bronze surface, enhancing the sculptural form. This piece demonstrates the artist's exploration of human posture and presence through modernist reduction. The seated pose invokes contemplation and stillness within an abstracted composition.
