North Wind, st James's Park, London. 1929

"North Wind, st James's Park, London" is a 1929 relief sculpture by Eric Gill, a prominent British artist known for his distinctive style that blended modernism with traditional craftsmanship. The sculpture depicts a stylized, almost abstract, female figure, her body twisted and elongated, emphasizing the force of the wind. This piece exemplifies Gill's interest in capturing the essence of natural forces through simplified forms, and the artwork's placement on a building in London adds an architectural context to the artwork, further enhancing its integration into the urban landscape.
