Six Feet | Ailene Fields | Original Surreal Bronze

Original bronze sculpture by Ailene Fields · Surreal figurative study · Available at Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery, Tampa, Florida · Ships worldwide

Six Feet is one of Fields' more surreal pieces, a long, narrow bronze built around balance rather than a recognizable animal or figure. At 13 inches long but only 2.5 inches high and wide, the proportions themselves are part of the piece, an elongated form that asks to be read slowly rather than taken in at a glance.

It sits apart from the more literal animal studies in this collection. Where Fields usually gives you a clear subject, here she leans into ambiguity, form for its own sake, built to prompt a second look and a conversation about what it actually is.

Collector's Note

This is a good fit for a collector who already owns a few of Fields' more literal animal pieces and wants something stranger and more conceptual to sit alongside them.

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.
