In Mulyana’s Fragile Ecologies, two figures cloaked in coral and algae tower over beds of fiber-based sea creatures. The Indonesian artist continues his playful and eccentric approach to marine life conservation in his solo show on view through March 4 at Sapar Contemporary, which brings some of his life-sized costumes and an array of woolen specimens to the gallery. Each piece is knit or crocheted with recycled, brightly colored yarn, which the artist fashions into sprawling ecosystems and immersive installations that dangle from the ceiling. More

Je reprends cette évocation de Henri de Monfreid pour entrer dans l’univers des figures de proue.

We all have this one sculpture or piece of art that we are ashamed of. Even when almost everyone agrees it's ugly - you'll hear this unbeatable argument - art is meant to cause discussions and it just did - so it's actually good! Sound familiar?
In Dorothy Cross’s “Blue Dive,” a pair of feet with curled, spread toes breach a rugged fragment of vibrant stone streaked with white veins. The sculpture casts the Connemara-based Cork-born artist’s own extremities into a block of rare Brazilian sodalite, a nod to the fleeting nature of human time in comparison to the longevity and enduring qualities of Earth’s resources. The rich, stone carving is just one anatomical piece in Cross’s solo exhibition titled Damascus Rose, which is open through April 14 at London’s Frith Street Gallery. More

The Fritz Hansen Utzon Stool is a captivating creative expression by acclaimed Danish architect Jern Utzon. Its intriguing appearance radiates an outgoing sense of playfulness. Meticulously fashioned from oiled solid beech, beech veneer, and adorned with exquisite brass detailing, this functional sculpture merges seamlessly into any space. While decorative in appearance, the stool is deceptively comfortable and stands as a testament to Utzon's rare ability to distill complex organic shapes into functional forms. Designed concurrently with the Sydney Opera House, the Utzon Stool shares the same natural inspirations and maritime influences that shaped Utzon's childhood. The seven smoothly contoured seating elements of the stool resonate with the rounded forms of marine bollards and fenders found in the harbors of Utzon's youth, while the incorporation of brass pays homage to maritime traditions. Material: Seat: Oiled solid wood, Beech - White pigmented │ Base: Oiled veneer, Beech - White pigmentedBrass (untreated) details are connecting the seat and the base. Dimensions: 16.9"H x 17.9"W x 17.5"Dia Shipping Info: Orders placed today ship late May

Carrying on with the short theme of artists associated with John Henry Twachtman (for Twachtman see recent blog posts of 6 and 8 January) I’m taking a look at Soren Emil Carlsen. Carlsen (1853 – 1932) was an American Impressionist painter who emigrated to the United States from Denmark. While he became known for his still lifes and has been described as "The American Chardin," he branched out later in his career and also became known for landscape and marine subjects. Carlsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1853. After studying architecture in his native Denmark at Copenhagen's Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi, he emmigrated to the United States just before his twentieth birthday in 1872 to become a painter. He moved to Chicago to study under fellow Dane, painter Lauritz Holtz, in 1874, and continued his study in Paris for six months of 1875, enrolling at the Academie Julien before financial trouble forced him to leave. Preferring to enter the educational system instead of seeking to become an independent artist after this time, Carlsen accepted a teaching position at the Chicago Academy of Design (soon to become the Art Institute of Chicago) upon his return to America. With his great interest in the work of French artist Jean-Simeon Chardin (1699-1779), Carlsen returned to Paris in 1884 to study that master for two years. On his next return to America, Carlsen moved to San Francisco to become the next director of the California School of Design, continuing to paint his signature still life images after Chardin. While in California, he kept in contact with several fellow artists he had come to know during an earlier stay in New York City; he taught his students about Augustus Saint-Gaudens, J. Alden Weir, and John LaFarge, and also allowed these artists to influence his own personal style. Around 1891, Carlsen returned to New York because sales opportunities for his work were better there, and he had tired of the long hours his teaching position required. He settled permanently in New York after this point, but his still-life images were so popular and successful that he exhibited throughout the country, returning several times to San Francisco. Elected to the National Academy of Design in 1906, where he had been exhibiting with regularity since 1885, Carlsen also showed at the San Francisco Art Association between 1890 and 1897. 1904's Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri and the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915 in San Francisco also featured Carlsen's work. Carlsen passed away in 1932 in New York nine years after being the subject of a major retrospective at Washington DC's Corcoran Gallery of Art. He died in New York in 1932. 1884 Still Life with Roses and Mandolin oil on canvas 62 x 112 cm 1886 Haddock oil on canvas 31 x 76 cm 1891 Thanksgiving Still Life oil on canvas 117 x 106 cm 1895 Ruby Reflection oil on canvas 41 x 37 cm c1895 Roses and Oriental Porcelain oil on canvas 62 x 37 cm 1904 October Summer 1904 Still Life with a Brass Kettle oil on canvas 41 x 51 cm 1906 Study in Grey oil on canvas 86 x 97 cm 1909 Moonlit Seascape 40 x 45 cm c1909 The South Strand oil on canvas 102 x 114 cm c1909 Venice oil on canvas-board 22 x 25 cm c1910-15 Bald Head Cliff, York, Maine oil on canvas 41 x 36 cm c1910 Brass Kettle with Porcelain Coffee Pot oil on canvas 51 x 62 cm c1910 Wood Interior oil on canvas 114 x 99 cm before 1912 Open Sea oil on canvas 121 x 147 cm 1913 The Sky and the Ocean 50 x 70 cm 1920 The Picture from Thibet c1920 Connecticut Hillside oil on canvas 74 x 70 cm Cape Cod oil on board 15 x 23 cm Peonies oil on canvas Still Life with Self Portrait oil on canvas (portrait reflected in the bottle) The French Fan oil on canvas Vases and Flowers oil on canvas Weir’s Place at Windham oil on board 62 x 75 cm

Japanese artist and designer Mariko Kusumoto (previously) shapes gossamer coral and sea creatures from soft fibers like polyester, nylon, and cotton. Embedded with tiny ripples or airy pockets, the standalone sculptures and wearables are translucent renditions of lifeforms, and their delicate compositions correspond with the fragility of the subject matter. The Boston-based artist tends to cluster the individual pieces into larger works, creating sprawling reefs and diverse ecosystems brimming with color and texture. More
