Product Overview
Among TYART’s figure bronzes, this piece stands out for the way a hand-applied green patina plays over its forms: a recumbent abstract body in verdigris green. The modelling is calm and confident, built from broad planes that catch light along the silhouette. At 533 × 148 × 260 mm, it is sized for desks, shelves and console tops.
The body is one continuous swell — hip rising, shoulder turning, the head resting — with limbs only implied. The long base keeps the composition horizontal and architectural, a deliberate counterweight to the verticals of most interiors.
The patina is built up in layers and sealed, which means tone varies slightly from piece to piece — the mark of genuine hand finishing rather than a sprayed imitation. On a desk, shelf or console top, it holds its own without competing with the furniture around it, and it needs no more care than an occasional soft-cloth dusting.
Design Inspiration: The Reclining Form
Chinese scholars prized 卧游 — traveling while lying still, the mind wandering through landscape. A reclining form on a long base carries the same idea: rest as a form of freedom. On a long console or lowboard the sculpture reads like a horizon line for the room.
Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina
The piece is produced by the traditional lost-wax method. Wax is modelled from the master, invested in a ceramic shell and burnt out, and molten bronze is poured into the cavity, so the finished casting is a hollow bronze shell rather than a solid block — lighter to handle, easier to place, and true to the way fine bronzes have been made for centuries. After casting, the surface is chased and polished by hand, then patinated in layered tones and sealed.
The long plinth base is leveled to tight tolerance so the body’s line stays true; felt pads are fitted for stone and timber surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why three color versions of the same form?
The reclining body is about line and light; color sets the mood. Bronze-red warms classic interiors, the black-and-white effect suits graphic modern rooms, and verdigris green adds the depth of aged bronze — one form, three interiors.
2. Does the polished surface show fingerprints?
The surface is sealed after patination, which resists fingerprints and handling marks; a dry cloth restores the sheen. For heavily touched locations we recommend the sealed matte spots as shipped — contact us for advice.
3. Can I order this piece in a different color?
Yes. The finish shown is the standard patina of this model, but the same sculpture can be produced in other tones — warm brown, antique gold, verdigris green or a custom two-tone patina. Hand patina is our standard process, so an alternative finish does not significantly affect lead time.
4. Is each sculpture exactly the same?
The casting comes from the same mold, so the form is consistent. The patina, however, is applied by hand, which means slight variations in tone between individual pieces — a normal characteristic of genuine cast bronze.
5. What is the MOQ?
We work with both single-piece orders and bulk project orders. Contact us with your quantity and destination port for an accurate quotation and lead time.
