Richard Perry
August Moon Waxing by Richard Perry - Abstract sculpture, Carrara marble, white

2018

About the Item

August Moon Waxing is a unique Carrara marble sculpture by contemporary artist Richard Perry, dimensions are 35 × 35 × 35 cm (13.8 × 13.8 × 13.8 in). The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. This sculpture is a good example of the geometric language the sculptor created in the 2010s and uses in his current work. Although the artist works with a variety of materials, including bronze and ceramics, his preferred material is stone, specifically granite, marble, limestone, red sandstone, and alabaster from quarries in England, Ireland, and Italy. Shape and material, and how they both interact with space and light, are at the centre of Richard Perry's artistic approach. His abstractly shaped sculptures have an elegant and solid balance created by the interaction of planes, lines, surfaces, and voids.

    Intricate, ethereal and highly textured, the abstract compositions of Japanese mosaic artist Toyoharu Kii reflect a sophisticated approach to the technical art of mosaic making. Classically trained in Florence, Italy, Kii creates his modern mosaics using traditional techniques and materials, including hand-cut Italian marble and Venetian smalti glass. Eschewing the figural in favor of the abstract, his mosaics rely on contrasts of pattern and form to convey complex themes and achieve visual harmony. Toyoharu Kii’s latest body of work “Geophytes” continues themes of rebirth and renewal. A reference to plants that regrow from hidden elements beneath the earth’s surface, the series celebrates the resilience of the natural world. Each mosaic is imagined as a landscape that documents a history of environmental damage due to human activity, and the subsequent return of nature as a restorative force. Through the juxtaposition of patterns and the interplay of order and disorder, Kii creates man-made “images of destruction” and finds hope in the future by “reconstructing nature.” In this mosaic entitled "Ghost (Big Wings)," Kii takes a more representational approach to his storytelling, creating figurative drawings out of thin lines of tesserae. The mosaic belongs to his “Ghost” triptych, wherein Kii uses “wings” to represent the presence of a heavenly being, the ghosts of past spirits or the presence of an angel or guardian. In “Ghost (Big Wings),” Kii mourns the extinction of many creatures due to environmental change and imagines their lonely spirits wandering the earth. Enveloping their silhouettes is “a bird with big wings,” writes Kii, depicted here within a dense mosaic of abstract patterns, a symbol for nature’s healing power. “The bird consoles...
