Delphine Grandvaux
"Murmurs 7" , Transparent Airy Hand-knitted Metallic Mural Abstract Sculpture

2020

About the Item

"Murmurs" is a hand-knitted metallic airy sculpture created directly from annealed iron wire and brass wire by the artist Delphine Grandvaux, inspired by her walks in the forest. This artwork represents the secrets people deposited in the hollow of trees, with the hope that they will be well kept there. The artist created this work in seven independent volumes with the desire to invite its art-collector to join her in an extension of her artistic creation, by offering the freedom to arrange these five volumes in her/his own way on the wall of her/his own space. The diameters of these 7 parts are separately 18 cm, 20 cm, 27 cm, 28 cm, 36 cm, 38cm, 45 cm (i.e. from 7.1  in to 17.7  in), and their depth varies from 10 cm to 18 cm (4 to 7 in). The photos illustrate some examples of arrangement of the 7 parts which are to be installed on the wall simply with seven small nails. The final dimensions of this artwork can vary since they will be defined by the way that its art-collector arrange the seven parts. Delphine Grandvaux is a French sculptor. Motivated by her desire to create light and airy artworks, she developed a unique artistic approach, based on a similar technique of mesh from metal wire as Ruth Asawa, although in a more dynamic way. In the mesh works of Delphine Grandvaux, the metallic threads, sometimes associated with other light materials like wood, wool, etc., seem to be tamed by the power of her technique and by her freedom of imagination. They transform themselves under the hands of the artiste into voluminous organic and dynamic forms, fine and refined, with fluid movements inside as well as outside the work. Playing with light and shadow, the transparent or semi-transparent forms created by the artist are truly evocative of poetry, delicacy and elegance.

  • Untitled (Wheat)
    By Harry Bertoia
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    Bertoia's "wheat" pieces are rare and a joy. These works do not make sound when one touches the tines and is meant less to be touched than to convey an organic feel of sunlight rippling through stalks of golden wheat. This is a great size for a table. An unusual composition for Bertoia, Untitled (Wheat) combines elements with the artist’s more familiar Tonals with those of the Sprays. Typical of the artist’s œuvre however is the pleasant sensation of touch when stroking the ends of the wires. Bertoia’s spray sculptures...
