Marmer, H 32 x 18 x 18 cm (H 12,6 x B 7,08 x D 7,08 inch), ca. 11 kg. Schepen uit de VS, TN 37064. Een van de zes marmeren sculpturen die ik heb gemaakt en tentoongesteld tijdens mijn eerste solotentoonstelling in Belgrado. Ik was van plan om deze klassieke vrouwelijke torso's, synoniem voor sculptuur, tentoon te stellen met een digitale film, met hun organische twist en hun (virtuele) brute crash aan het eind. Het project was bedoeld om de teloorgang van de traditionele kunsten te presenteren. Ik heb opzettelijk vermeden het oppervlak te polijsten, om het klassieke kunstwerk te benadrukken door een handgereedschap te gebruiken om het glad te maken. Het beeld heeft geen standaard om de sensuele vorm en de schoonheid van het medium te benadrukken.
About Ian Edwards - The Calling - Original Signed Bronze Sculpure Dimensions: 120 x 55 x 55 cm Edition of 12 Edwards’ practice expresses the power and determination of human endeavour. He draws inspiration from natural forces, with his powerful masculine figures often bearing the surface texture of time enduring landscapes. Edwards uses this external inspiration to explore very internal themes of fortitude and self-discovery. Edwards’ sensitive hand as a sculptor incorporates classical ideas about the sculpting process. In both Self Made Man and Creation of Self, a figure carves himself out of a mass of rock, reminiscent of Michelangelo's idea of seeing a form within a piece of marble and ’setting him free'. This is deeply metaphorical, reflecting timeless themes of purity, effort and self-belief. Poetic concepts such as these run throughout Edwards’ practice, with each piece subtly informed through mythological storytelling, creation beliefs and philosophical thinking. Edwards served a five-year apprenticeship at the world renowned G&H Studios where he learned his craft from the ground up, fine-tuning his ability to portray form and movement. He has publically sited commissions and has become popular with private collectors throughout Europe, America and Asia.

This post celebrates Biederdeier furniture which is made from what is referred to as blonde wood. There are several other "blondes" but this particular style is my favorite. Most often constructed along classical lines, it was usually made of light colored, less expensive woods like elm or fruitwoods, but ash, walnut, maple, birch, beech, and even mahogany examples exist. Black and gold paint was used for embellishment. After Napoleon's final defeat, Europe settled down to a long period of peace. The middle classes, who were prospering, wanted a simpler style, which could be functional as well as beautiful. This style, later known as 'Biedermeier', is essentially Empire furniture shorn of its ormolu mounts, excessive gilding and aggressive self-importance. As Biedermeier is not a traditional Anglo-Saxon style, it often appeals to people in creative professions such as advertising, decorating, and the music and film industries. Elton John furnished his whole house in London with blond Biedermeier furniture and a few Art Deco pieces. Another rock artist to appreciate the style was the late rock singer Freddie Mercury from the band Queen. Biedermeier's subtle appeal lies in its simplicity, which is so easily combined with both Art Deco and contemporary furniture, creating a relaxed mood and informal atmosphere, unlike the many antique styles, which demand a more formal setting. via google Blonde wood comes in several shades.

Based in Richmond, Virginia artist Morgan Herrin transforms the most humble material—laminated construction grade 2x4s—into spectacularly detailed figurative sculptures. His choice of imagery is surreal: a noble 15th century knight melts into a network of dripping stalagmites or a classical marble bust that is overgrown with parasitic sea creatures. The resulting works are a fascinating juxtaposition of material and subject matter that require up to a year of labor to produce. Of the untitled knight piece Herrin says: Untitled (Knight) is the product of the combination of two subjects: 15th century plate armor, and geological cave structure. More

Scythian Griffin holding a stag head in its beak. From Pazyryk, Russian Altai mountains, 4th century B.C. Saint Petersburg, State Hermitage Museum. ***************************************************************************** This intimidating male headgear was found in the tomb of a Scythian chieftain in the Altai mountains in Siberia. Around 2,300 years old, it’s thought this headgear may have been worn by the chieftain in his final battle, as the damage to it corresponds with the fatal wounds on the man’s head. The carving depicts the head of a fantastic eagle, holding a deer head in its beak, with figures carrying geese on either side. These elements were part of a complex headpiece which consisted of a decorated felt cap topped with an elaborate wooden crest.
