Yenny Cocq
Yenny Cocq's figurative sculptures represent one of nature's most complex and beautiful forms: the human body. Her work refines the human figure to basic, almost geometric forms while portraying an emotional idea or story. She is giving life to her subjects by capturing their innermost emotions while expressing her own romantic longings.
Yenny Cocq starts each piece in clay, wax, or metal. The figures are then cast in bronze using the lost wax casting technique, in which a mold is created from the original artwork, then casting waxes are created for the foundry to cast. The artist applies the patina, the final coloration, using various traditional patina acids and formulas.
Yenny Cocq is a master printmaker, but she has always created jewelry and small sculptures inspired by Danish design. She has worked with her uncle, master goldsmith Berghoff, in Hamburg, Germany. For the last 10 years, she has worked in small bronze sculpture. Various professional bronze casting foundries in Denmark, Germany, and the USA were instrumental in the process and realization of her current body of work.
Customer Reviews
First of all I want to comment on the very impressive wrapping that was obviously done carefully and methodically. The delicate bronze with stone base is absolutely stunning. It is small but has a large presence. My husband loved his birthday gift!
I love Yenny Cocq's work. I purchased the 2 figures both without base and with base several months ago. (With base was a gift.) I just purchased 2 additional figures without base for our new condo apt., a second residence, in upstate NY. They are so beautifully crafted - enhanced by their diminutiveness - and I want to be able to see them in whichever residence we happen to be.
I haven't unpacked it because it's a gift for someone, but I was surprised at how small it is.
Gave this to my wife for our anniversary. We both love how it captures our commitment to each other. Always walk by and take a moment to take it in.
So happy with my couple in bronze. Perfect on my floating kitchen shelf. I change their surroundings with the season. But beware they certainly are tiny! Our 25 year old son was home for Christmas and always likes to look around for changes. I saw him admiring these and he said 'i don't notice changes this time except for this couple - neat!' I know what I will be purchasing for a gift when there is an engagement!
