Deb Sterna's "Chanteuse Purple & Gold" exudes elegance and stage presence, capturing the spirit of a singer mid-performance. Draped in deep purple lace, with intricate gold accents on her shoulders, the figure’s outfit evokes a vintage glamour. The use of repurposed materials adds texture and authenticity to the sculpture, while the painted face suggests a dramatic, yet serene expression, embodying the persona of a chanteuse. Sterna’s attention to detail in the fabric and decorative plastics imbues the figure with a sense of movement, as if she is caught in the midst of a song, her voice filling the room. This piece is a tribute to performance and the beauty of expression through art.
