Blake Ward’s works from his Spirits Collection expand on the techniques of figurative sculpture developed in antiquity. Challenging established norms, these sculptures illustrate Ward’s contrarian approach presenting the contemporary figure by revealing the interior space of the human form thus evoking a dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious. While Ward remains true to his roots in traditional sculpture, he brakes free from the formal academic model with his Spirits Collection, crossing over into the abstract and the ethereal.

These ¼ scale, partial bronze figures are both seductive and magic, their perfect proportions reflect hidden perspectives found within our human condition. The textured exterior surface alludes to the layered complexity of our individuality. The open, exposed interior elicits introspection. Holding fast to his love of the human figure, Ward leads us toward self-discovery.

Although this show is over some of the works are still available.
