About the Item
The elegant, lyrical curves of this abstract sculpture by David Chamberlain are hand-carved from one continuous loop of mahogany wood. The American artist is a sculptor, painter, jazz musician, a Capella singer, composer, writer and educator—a ‘renaissance man’ whose artwork is often inspired by music. Chamberlain works with the visible grain and polishes the wood to a soft lustre to accentuate its dynamic form.
Each sculpture is designed to rotate on a pedestal so that with every turn another view of the form is revealed.
This is the last of a suite of eight sculptures; each anthropomorphic form designed to be reminiscent of the traditional busts that were created to celebrate beloved composers. ‘Fanfare’ was named for the famous majestic brass piece composed by America’s Aaron Copland (a favourite of Chamberlains’). ‘Fanfare for the Common Man’ was written in 1942 and was selected as the theme for the Olympics held in Montreal in 1977.
“With this sculpture, I endeavored to pay homage to this man and his moving music — pure brass and percussion — that emotionally elevates me, gives me chills and still takes my breath away.” David Chamberlain
David Allen Chamberlain was born in Canton, Ohio in 1949. He attended Princeton University in 1971 where he received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Architecture. In 1977 he acquired a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the University of Pennsylvania. That was followed by a graduate certificate from the Teaching Studio Art Institute of Colorado College and finally a master’s in landscape architecture from the University of Colorado. Over several decades, he has created more than 2000 pieces of artwork in various mediums which appear in both private collections and in art institutions, museums, and colleges around the world.
This sculpture can be upscaled for the outdoors. Available on a commission basis in various sizes and in a variety of materials including bronze and steel. Please contact the gallery for pricing, material selection and sizing details. Allow 10 to 12 weeks for production.
