Ondřej Oliva
Urbanut by Ondřej Oliva - Large aluminium sculpture, nut, contrasts, figurative

2015

About the Item

Urbanut is an aluminium sculpture by contemporary Czech sculptor Ondřej Oliva, dimensions are 105 × 100 × 80 cm (41.3 × 39.4 × 31.5 in). This artwork is from a limited edition of 6, each edition comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. The artist plays with the contrasts between organic and inorganic, linear and curved forms in this reinterpretation of a common object — a nut. The sculpture's voids create an especially intriguing shadow effect. The artist is especially fond of the aluminum used in this sculpture because it enables him to attain the highest level of precision in even the smallest details. Ondrej Oliva draws inspiration for his works from both the natural and everyday objects that surround us. He often returns to familiar objects, such as foods, to produce new works that are rich in allusions and allusions. Ondej uses bronze or aluminium to give his works a long-term perspective, so the material selection is crucial.

Like religion, it provides the glimmer of hope that maybe it will be all right in the end.’ (D. Hirst, quoted in conversation with S. O’Hagan in New Religion Damien Hirst, exh. cat., British Council, London, 2006, p. 5) Born in 1965 in Bristol, Hirst grew up in Leeds and subsequently went to Goldsmith's College in London.
