(Abstract female figure)
John Rhoden
This life-sized bronze sculpture is an example of Rhoden’s exploration of figurative abstraction. The iridescent piece abstracts the female form, with the head shaped in a way that recalls Richanda Rhoden’s signature chignon. Unlike other sculptures modeled after female models, this sculpture lacks limbs, a face, or any other identifying features. Rhoden had at least one other similar bronze sculpture wall mounted in the Rhodens’ Brooklyn Heights home. It appears in several archival photos, and was made in turquoise.
