Up To Fight
Patinated bronze on wood plinth, monogrammed "AA"
This compact bronze by Swedish sculptor Ansgar Almquist captures a moment of poised resistance. Two figures emerge from the rough surface: one raising an arm clutching a weapon, the other pressed close in support or protection. Almquist’s modelling favours expressive form over polished detail, heightening the sense of urgency and struggle. Known for both monumental public works and intimate studies, Almquist often explored themes of human resilience and collective strength, qualities distilled here in concentrated form.
