Speak to us of Crime and Punishment

This colour photo shows a fine art bronze sculpture called Speak to us of Crime and Punishment. It is a an adult human with a male physique standing. He is cowering in shame. His head is bent forward so that his chin is almost touching his chest. His left arm is raised horizontally with his left hand covering his forehead. Both legs are slightly bent at the knee. The right hand and arm areup and bent in a defensive, punching posture. He is standing on a plinth which we can’t quite see. We are looking at the sculpture’s front left side and he is therefore facing left. The sculpture is clearly raised up because the background is a completely clear, electric blue sky, but with the tops of some trees at the bottom of the picture. The bronze is highly polished and extremely dark in colour.

This work is part of the Gibran Sculpture Series.
