Hacer Art

American, b. 1976

Hacer is an American sculptor who designs origami-inspired, folded metal sculptures with a minimalist approach. Exploring psychologically complex themes, his reductive reinvention of the aesthetic evolved technically over decades. Hacer’s introduction to the traditional art form began at an early age when he was exposed to Sadako And The Thousand Paper Cranes and later, as a young adult, to Alexander Calder’s fluid experimentation with form. The resulting work is an amalgamation of innocent childhood play, experimentation with form, first hand working knowledge of Jeff Koons novel approach to materials, John McCracken’s exhaustive attention to detail and Ellsworth Kelly’s steadfast commitment to minimalism. The perfection of his technique in combination with a monumental vision has manifested in museum exhibitions and large-scale, permanent sculptural installations, including most recently, The Chase series of four large-scale sculptures along Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California.

B6 Pull
By Neil Wood
Located in Bournemouth, Dorset
Neil Wood (.1963) is a professional sculptor and fine artist . He has many years experience lecturing in fine art and sculpture at institutions in the UK. He has worked in various settings; in education, as artist in residence and visiting lecturer, alongside his practice producing sculpture for exhibition and public commissions. He employs a Modernist methodology to explore the human condition in the 21st century. He continues to use the figure as a vehicle to explore formal material qualities and visual language as a means of expressing, often complex, ideas about the world we inhabit and the nature of human experience and relationships. Recent work explores social and political injustices inflicted on the underprivileged and displaced worldwide. These constructed steel sculptures, finished with an electrostatic powder coating are continuation of the Displaced series. They attempt to express physical representations of the conceptual burdens or challenges that are part of the human condition and experience. Displaced is a body of work, comprising sculptures, relief panels and works on paper. It aims to explore a general theme of inequality imposed by circumstances. I’m attempting to convey an emotional response to various humanitarian challenges of the twenty-first century, albeit by employing a mid-twentieth century aesthetic and sculptural tradition. The works focus on individual relationships, families...

KAWS Companion 2016 (Brown KAWS Companion)
By KAWS
Located in NEW YORK, NY
KAWS Brown Companion, 2016. New and sealed in its original packaging. This classic KAWS figurative sculpture was published by Medicom Japan in conjunction with the exhibition, KAWS: Where The End Starts at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. New/never displayed & accompanied by original packaging. Medium: Painted Vinyl Cast Resin. Year: 2016. Dimensions: 11 × 5 inches. New, unopened; excellent condition. Stamped on underside of foot; from a sold out edition of unknown. KAWS: Spanning the worlds of graffiti, pop art, and consumer culture, KAWS’ bodies of work are highly charged, each conveying his underlying wit, irreverence, and affection for our times. He has primarily looked to and appropriated from pop-culture animations (including The Smurfs, The Simpsons, SpongeBob, and Peanuts) to form his artistic vocabulary for his paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Now well known for his larger-than-life sculptures and hard-edge paintings that emphasize line and color, KAWS’s cast of hybrid cartoon/human characters, with similarities to popular cartoon figures and logos like Mickey Mouse and the Michelin Man, are perhaps the strongest examples of his exploration of humanity. These figures have amicable names—Chum, Companion, Accomplice—and express and provoke an array of human emotions, from sad, overwhelmed, pathetic, and weary, to shy. They reflect feelings and situations we can empathize with in presentations that are balanced with humor, heartening in their cartoon aesthetic. (source: The Modern Fort Worth).
