Product Description:
Gabriel with Flowers by metal sculptor John Benedict is a powerful large-scale steel work that blends strength, grace, and symbolism. Crafted from multiple precision-cut steel layers, this kneeling winged figure creates depth, shadow, and movement as the form shifts with changing light. Benedict’s signature style—industrial materials shaped into deeply human, emotive silhouettes—is on full display here.
The sculpture depicts a guardian-like figure poised with a spear, offering a small bundle of flowers at ground level. The contrast of steel and softness creates a striking narrative: resilience paired with compassion, vigilance balanced with peace. Dramatic vertical wings rise from the figure’s back, giving the piece an unmistakable presence in any outdoor or large interior setting.
Each steel layer is thoughtfully shaped and aligned, showcasing Benedict’s mastery in transforming raw metal into sculptural storytelling. Gabriel with Flowers stands as a statement piece—bold, contemplative, and unforgettable.
