About the Artwork
Free Fall by James Cook is a striking bronze sculpture that captures a singular, suspended moment in time. The figure floats mid-air, arms outstretched, clutching wing-like forms that suggest both flight and surrender. Sculpted with exquisite attention to anatomical detail and fluid motion, this bronze artwork invites viewers to explore the duality of strength and vulnerability. The patina lends the surface an otherworldly tone, highlighting every contour and curve of the body, enhancing the sense of weightlessness and grace. As a bronze sculpture, it blends permanence with movement – a frozen gesture made eternal.
This limited edition artwork by South African artist James Cook explores the fleeting nature of life. The figure’s descent speaks to the experience of moving through uncertainty – the free fall we all face in moments of change, challenge, or loss. Yet the expression and posture of the figure suggest exhilaration, as though letting go has unlocked something beautiful. The result is a sculpture that feels both grounded and otherworldly, echoing the imagery of angels without resorting to cliché. For collectors drawn to contemporary bronze sculpture with poetic depth, this work is unforgettable.
