Original bronze sculpture by Ailene Fields · Fairy tale figure · Available at Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery, Tampa, Florida · Ships worldwide
Ailene Fields draws directly on fairy tale for this piece, casting the frog prince in the moment just before his transformation. The figure sits upright with a kind of dignity that runs against the joke of the story, poised rather than comic, which is the point. Fields has spent her career pulling from myth and folklore, and this is one of her most literal references to it.
The surface carries the texture of hand-worked bronze, built up and smoothed in a way that keeps the form soft rather than rigid. At 9 by 6 by 9 inches, it sits comfortably on a shelf or console without needing a pedestal of its own, and reads as a quiet, storybook presence rather than a showpiece.

Collector's Note
This is one of Fields' larger and more narrative pieces, priced accordingly, and works well for a collector drawn specifically to her fairy tale and myth-based work rather than her more purely naturalistic animal studies.

"My aim, sculpturally, has always been to bring softness out of apparent hardness."

About the Artist
Ailene Fields is an American sculptor working in bronze, stone, and acrylic, known for figures that draw on mythology, fairy tales, and the natural world. Born in Brooklyn, she earned a degree in English Literature and Greek Mythology from Lehman College before training as a self-taught potter.
She went on to study the human figure under master sculptor Bruno Lucchesi at the New School for Social Research in New York, where she developed the technical foundation behind her animal and figurative bronzes. She is a co-founder of the Skylands Museum of Art in Lafayette, New Jersey, and co-owner of The Compleat Sculptor in New York City.
Her work has been shown in solo museum exhibitions at the Bergen Museum of Art and Science and the Appleton Museum of Art, and is held in private collections across the country. Fields continues to teach stone carving, passing on the discipline behind her own decades of practice.
