Richard Erdman
"Salient I" abstract marble sculpture

2022

About the Item

Richard Erdman's abstract sculpture "Salient I" is carved from gorgeous white Carrara marble from Italy. Made with companion piece "Salient II" (not shown here -- available in separate listing), Erdman focused specifically on the crescent shape: "Salient I" is an arrangement of six crescents, and "Salient II" seven. By restricting his visual vocabulary in this way, Erdman explains that he was “forced to work in a way where each crescent would be honored.” The pair are two of Erdman's rare sculptures that evoke a figure from certain angles, even as they remain very definitely abstract. These playfully curving works are models for two monumental sculptures also carved in gorgeous Carrara marble. They are available individually, as listed here, or as a pair. Dimensions include the white, square, marble base as shown. Shown in over 130 solo and group exhibitions throughout North America and abroad, Vermont sculptor Richard Erdman has been commissioned to create major works in stone and bronze for The PepsiCo Sculpture Gardens in New York, the Four Seasons Park in Singapore, The Minneapolis Institute of Art in Minneapolis, and Princeton University in New Jersey. His work is in extensive private collections in over 40 countries worldwide.

  • "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
