About the Item

This abstract bronze sculpture attaches to the black granite base using a rotating pin mount, allowing you to change the view as often as you'd like. The bronze sculpture measures 16"H x 14"W x 11"D, and the base measures 2"H x 12"W x 12"D. Edition #2 of 9, it is signed, dated, and numbered by the artist on the edge of the base. Christopher Curtis is a stone and metal sculptor based out of Stowe, Vermont. He completed a B.S. degree in zoology at the University of Vermont, while also studying sculpture and fine art. During his time at UV, Curtis studied under Paul Achenbach, who encouraged Curtis in developing a broad range of sculpting skills. This has enabled him to make sculptures in many media including stone, stainless steel, bronze, wood, glass and fine metals. A sculptor for over forty years, Curtis’ works reflect his passion for stone, and his persistent interest in using science and technology for the creation of sculpture.

  • "Engaging (18-inch)" bronze pedestal sculpture
    Located in Glen Ellen, CA
    Cast bronze sculpture with classic green patina on black marble base. Edition of 3 at this size. Other sizes and patina finishes are also available by commission, please inquire for more details. Pisapia's "Expedition Series," inspired by sea voyages, is about meeting life’s challenges with courage and purpose. It connects to the idea expressed by J.W. Goethe: “Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.” Taking up life’s tasks can require one to go against the wind. The feeling of determination to achieve and continue steering through obstacles is poured into the pure forms; a dynamic balancing of the straight and curve on different axes. "With a rounded starting point," Pisapia explains, "I add on a variety of disparate angles, diverse curves, and twisting planes. I carve and smooth the surfaces, bringing out particular tensions and transitions." Flavius Valone Pisapia is an Italian-Romanian artist born in Bucharest in 1981. He completed his higher education in the UK, with an MA in Transpersonal Arts & Therapy, 2014; a Diploma in Transformative Arts, 2011; and a BA (Hons) in Film and Video, 2005. Pisapia studied sculpture throughout his higher education and appreciated several sculptor mentors in the UK. Since 2016, he has resided in India, where he is currently an artist in residence at Studio Sukriti in Jaipur. He has had several solo exhibitions in India and his artwork is found in private collections worldwide. "It's important for me to experience the world at a deeper level by penetrating the veil of the senses. Through an immersive process the essence, beauty and the pure form of an idea are gradually revealed to me. The emerging awareness flows into my artwork imbuing it with a higher reality. To achieve this awareness in my creative process, I go through three stages: imagination, inspiration and intuition." - Flavius Pisapia
