Romee Kanis

The bronze sculptures of Romee Kanis (1953) are characterized by a feminine approach and always graceful form. The subject of her pictures is often 'the woman', thereby showing the natural beauty, without without sketching an ideal.. Romee Kanis explores the human body in all its forms. As human nude in all its fragility and vulnerability as well as strong and bold. Or as a human artist, like her dancers and fantasy figures.

Small or life-size images of Romee Kanis radiate elegance and an breezy character. Gentle details, romantic and elegant shapes and body parts characterize her sculptures. A frivolous 'Scapino', a graceful gymnast, a modest 'Innocence'. Her male images show the same elegance. Romee Kanis makes her sculptures in wax or clay. The mold maker and bronze caster ensure that the image appears in bronze. Romee provides the finishing and colors through her very own patins such as the special azure-green and silver-colored ballet dresses and the ocher-colored jackets and hats. This gives the sculptures an extra dimension. She also creates special effects with glass and convex shapes. As a base and as a balancing items. The glass pedestal make the bronze float and add a magical effect.

Romee Kanis also feels drawn to the world of animals. Animals like companion of man, such as the lion and the swan, but also self-contained as a powerful horse and the ferocious bull.

Even though the life of humans and animals are caught in bronze, the work of Romee Kanis is full in motion.
