Urn

2013

About the Item

Davies designed this urn by drawing on extensive research culminating in adopting classical elements from Graeco-Roman antiquity. It's elegant shape is subtly embellished with a Roman laurel wreath and crossed ribbons tied over a reed base. It's proportions are aesthetically correct and pleasing to the eye. Although the urn in the images this listing is to be cast in bronze and can be patinated to the buyer's taste and practically used to support a small tree, indeed Davies himself has one supporting a lemon tree in a garden conservatory.

  • Polychrome Bronze Organic Sculpture Polich Tallix Art Foundry Sleeping Beauty
    By Robert Kushner
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Robert Kushner, born in 1949, in California, lives in New York, and is a painter and sculptor. He gained attention in the early seventies as a performance artist, using food, fabric and nudity. Kushner was associated with the Pattern and Decoration movement and used fabric collage in large-scale, bold paintings of the figure. Since 1987 he has used flowers as the subject of his paintings, more recently adding a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables to his repertoire. Kushner's use of rich color harmonies and bold, fluid drawing, mark his belief in the importance of beauty in our lives. Kushner draws from a unique range of influences, including Islamic and European textiles, Henri Matisse, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Demuth, Pierre Bonnard, Tawaraya Sotatsu, Ito Jakuchu...

  • Guidance
    By Ben Young
    Located in New York, NY
    Ben Young’s sculpture fluidly blends glass, concrete, bronze, steel, and light to depict romantic and pensive imagery highlighting the fragility of our climate and its most precious resource – water. Born in Australia and raised in New Zealand, Young is an avid surfer and environmentalist, inspired by a lifetime on and around oceans, bays, and reefs, with an intimate understanding of the challenges our precious ecosystems face. Young’s thought-provoking sculpture shows great range, portraying the beauty and solitude of life on the ocean, haunting depths of the deep sea, and stunning and relaxing upside of island life. Water is many things to many people, which Young encapsulates brilliantly in his work, encompassing themes of sustainability throughout. Using concrete to create mountains, crevasses, sand bars, and cliffs, Young’s innovative use of materials is transportative. With hand-carved glass as his guiding medium, Young amplifies light and its relationship with water – our most sacred element – to create a glowing unity that people from around the world connect with on a personal level, whether they are beachside or in the Desert.
