Body Bust

Body Bust

In “Body Bust,” Patrick Joosten presents an original and captivating sculpture that explores the essence of the feminine form. The work features a woman’s bust, where the elegant curves and contours are accentuated by a sleek, shiny black corset. This garment does not constrain, but rather elevates the figure, transforming it into a powerful symbol of divine femininity a celebration of both form and spirit.

Cast in a monochromatic bronze with a striking black and white patina, the bust seems to glow with an otherworldly, almost ethereal aura. It is a piece that speaks volumes through its silence, whispering timeless stories of inner strength, resilience, and profound beauty. The intricate details of the corset’s structure interplay with the subtle, organic lines of the body, coming together to form a striking visual symphony of contrast and harmony.

In this enigmatic work, the boundaries between the classical and the contemporary, the tangible and the spiritual, beautifully blur. Joosten leaves the viewer not with a definitive answer, but with a lasting sense of wonder and awe, inviting a deep, personal reflection on the power and mystery inherent in the female form.
