Description of the Artwork “Saint Guthlacus Mercianus”
This sculpture, crafted in 2023, revisits early medieval inspiration to present Saint Guthlac of Croyland in natural sandstone. Adam Rosa's dedication to authenticity is evident in the freehand carving technique, employing traditional methods to bridge contemporary art with medieval style. The piece, sized 16 × 53 × 18 cm, stands as a commissioned work that seamlessly integrates ancient aesthetics with modern contexts, utilizing natural elements like sand and soil to honor historical and cultural legacies.
