Olga van Wyk. Well - known S A Artist. SITTING ARTICULATED MANNEQUIN. 60 cm tall. Handcrafted.

A lovely SITTING ARTICULATED MANNEQUIN by the well - known and inimitable South African artist OLGA VAN WYK. It depicts a Renaissance female figure and is 60 cm tall when stretched out. It is handmade in resin, textile and hair and is hand painted in oil paint which is distressed afterwards. The mannequin is hinged at the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees.

The creations of Olga van Wyk can be found in top South African art galleries and in the collections of distinguished doll and art collectors in South Africa and overseas. As with all female mannequins created by Olga van Wyk, the one on offer here shows the strength and quiet grace of women, particularly regarding circumstances that may crush, be demeaning or place her in severe stressful situations. This slight discordant note of stress which Olga manages to capture beautifully is part of the appeal they have that makes them so extraordinarily popular with collectors.

There are several more images below. Please have a look at them and ask a question if you are unsure of anything. Note that only the cage doll is for sale and that any other objects in the images are just props.

Every mannequin (cage doll, bust or seated articulated puppet) Olga van Wyk creates is unique, handmade in resin and other materials and hand painted in oil paint. Space does not allow much detail on the artist, her works and the prices of her works. If the item on auction interests you, please Google it. Much detail can also be found on Pinterest and the artist's Facebook page.
