About the Item
Steve Sangapore’s “Moab Man” is a 30 x 24 x 2 inch mixed media wall-hung sculpture from his Modern Icon series. The mixed media petroglyph is signed bottom right.
After Sangapore's experience at the Utah petroglyph sites and further researching the area’s archaic peoples that created them, he was inspired to create one for his current series of work: Modern Icon. One particularly striking petroglyph in the Southern Utah area that dates to the first millennium CE is what has informally come to be known as Moab Man. This enigmatic image is an anthropomorphic being which has no known representation or concrete meaning. Daily life and matters of the spiritual are frequently found to be the subjects of petroglyph art in the area, and one might infer a spiritualistic meaning given that the features and characteristics of Moab Man seem far from ordinary.
Sangapore's inspiration coalesced into a wall-hung, sculptural replica of the famous Moab Man but with a new, conceptual element. In addition to replicating the process of petroglyph creation (embedding a recessed image into a hard surface by picking and carving), he added two mirrors where one could assume a pair of eyes might otherwise be. Archaic art is part of the human story and reflects back to us something deep and curious about ourselves. Like other works in this series, placing the viewer inside the eyes of the petroglyph acts as a catalyst for experiencing this connection.
Steve Sangapore is a contemporary oil painter and mixed media sculptor. Using vastly different stylistic approaches of composition, medium and structure throughout various series, his work can be described at once as aesthetically traditional and conceptually contemporary. His work is intellectually exploratory with a gravitation toward religion, science and the human condition. Steve Sangapore’s work has been exhibited in galleries and leading art fairs nationally and has been included in a variety of publications including Art Business News and The Boston Globe. Sangapore is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.

- 18th Century New England Cartographer's Office - Kupjack Studios Miniature RoomBy Henry "Hank" KupjackLocated in Chicago, ILCartography, the study and practice of making and using maps, was at the cutting edge in the 18th-century, helping to shape and define a world rapidly coming into focus. Over the course of the century, exploration and colonization expanded the scope of the known world, especially in the Pacific and the Americas. Advances in geography enabled cartographers to map these new discoveries with increasing accuracy. The days of conjecture and myth in cartography were fast coming to an end. Here, the Kupjack Studios has captured this discipline with exacting details. From the smallest of tools, to the rolls of maps and maps in progress displayed on the desk, the world of miniatures comes to life and brings us into a bygone era. Kupjack Miniatures 18th Century New England Cartographer, circa. 2008 mixed media 14h x 26.25w x 14.75d in 35.56h x 66.67w x 37.47d cm KJK001 Eugene Kupjack and his sons Hank and Jay created museum quality miniature rooms in their studio outside of Chicago for many years. Hank and Jay learned the at their father’s side as he assisted Mrs. Narcissa Niblack Thorne with the creation her many miniature rooms now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. Almost every piece of molding, furniture, rugs, and accessory items that are contained in their rooms are designed and created by hand. In addition to designing and building rooms they would sometimes work to restore the rooms built many years ago by their father and Mrs. Thorne. Their work can be seen in various museums as far away as Turkey where they were exhibited in 2009. In the United States their work can be seen in the permanent collections of The Kentucky Museum Center, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Philadelphia Art Museum...Category
