Title: Armor’s Gentle Touch
Artist: Justin Stockbridge, New Zealand
Description:
“Armor’s Gentle Touch” is a masterful sculpture that embodies the juxtaposition of strength and delicacy. This piece features a meticulously crafted 15th-century historical Gothic gauntlet, created by renowned New Zealand armourer Justin Stockbridge. The gauntlet, adorned with hand-filed hearts, captures the essence of medieval craftsmanship and romance.
Held within the grasp of the gauntlet is a steel rose, also handcrafted with exceptional skill and precision. The rose symbolizes beauty and resilience, forged from the same material as the gauntlet, yet delicate in its form.
The gauntlet is not only a display of outer strength but also an epitome of inner beauty, as it showcases superior construction and an extraordinary attention to detail. The intricate design is apparent both inside and out, making it a remarkable piece of art from any perspective.
Adding to its versatility, the gauntlet is removable from the statue, allowing for a closer appreciation of its craftsmanship. This sculpture is a testament to the artisan’s dedication to creating timeless pieces that blend historical accuracy with artistic expression.
Justin Stockbridge’s work stands as a proud representation of New Zealand artistry, melding historical techniques with contemporary artistry to create a piece that is both evocative and enduring.
