For the last 20 years, Osterman has worked as a full time artist and fabricator in Canada, first in Toronto and now Prince Edward County, Ontario. Using a variety of materials including cast aluminum, copper and plaster, the artist creates biomorphic themed sculptures.

Eclat de Pier-original female figure abstract bronze artwork-contemporary Art
By Nicola Godden
Located in London, Chelsea
Bronze, Limited Edition 2 of 9 "Eclat de Pierre" by Nicola Godden is a captivating original figurative bronze sculpture that captivates viewers with its graceful elegance and dynamic presence. Crafted with precision and finesse, this piece showcases Godden's mastery of form and her ability to convey emotion through abstract expression. At the heart of the sculpture stands an abstract female figure, its form exuding a sense of fluidity and movement. The curves and contours of the figure suggest both strength and vulnerability, while the rich earth tones of the bronze add warmth and depth to its surface. Perched atop a square steel base, the sculpture appears to float effortlessly, defying gravity with its weightless presence. The juxtaposition of the organic forms of the figure against the geometric lines of the base creates a visually striking contrast. The medium of bronze lends a tactile quality to the sculpture, inviting viewers to explore its surface and appreciate its intricate details. Each curve and angle is meticulously rendered, from the delicate features of the figure's face to the flowing lines of its limbs. "Eclat de Pierre" is a testament to Godden's skill and creativity as an artist. Whether displayed in a gallery or as a centerpiece in a private collection, this sculpture invites viewers to contemplate the beauty and complexity of the human form, while also serving as a reminder of the enduring power of artistic expression. Artist biography: Nicola Godden is a British contemporary sculptor, boasting over 30 years of experience working primarily in plaster and clay for bronze casting. Born in 1959, the Surrey-based artist has produced site-specific works with property companies and other organisations. Her first large commission was the Hammersmith Man figure in 1988. In 2012, the artist created the Icarus sculpture...
