BRAFA 2024: a rare Lynn Chadwick sculpture revealed
Tune in as Tania Sutton, Director of Osborne Samuel Gallery, delves into an exceptional Lynn Chadwick bird sculpture of 1958, now to be seen at the BRAFA Art Fair 2024.
Osborne Samuel is a long-established gallery and one of London’s leading specialists in Modern British painting and sculpture. This semi-abstracted winged figure, which they present on their stand 6 at the international BRAFA Art Fair, continues to develop some of the imagery seen in Chadwick’s work of the early 1950s, a period during which Chadwick began to create a menagerie of fantastical beasts. See how magnificently it's captured mid-launch, as beating wings lift its body into the air. It is a being which straddles the divide between the familiar and unfamiliar: with a recognisable form which represents that of a bird, but with the angular armature which is more in line with its prehistoric predecessor.
Make it to BRAFA 2024 at Brussels Expo until 4 February to see these and many more treasures up close.
