About Bravado II

In this dramatic abstract sculpture by Robert Clarke Ellis a silhouette of a figure, broad chest puffed up in confidence, strides boldly forward towards the viewer. Constructed of laser-cut steel and painted black, the sculpture absorbs light and casts its own curious shadow. Clarke Ellis’s new work integrates minimalist forms with playful, even theatrical themes.



“The figurative elements in my pieces lend themselves to experiential opportunities for the viewer. Body language speaks volumes.” Clarke Ellis
