About the Item

Almiranta tricornio, 2021 - 2022 by José Ignacio Suarez Solis From the Series Sculptures Carving, assembling and painting (granite, wood, iron, acrylic, zinc plate and copper wire) Size: 70 H x 85 W x 50 D cm. _____ Son of Cuban parents, José Ignacio Suarez Solis arrived in Rio de Janeiro during his childhood, settling in Bahia in 1974. Between 1987 and 1993 he studied in the United States, initially in New York and then on the West Coast, where he graduated with a B.A. Architecture from the University of Oregon. In Copenhagen (1990) he had contact with drawing and watercolor, starting to produce journals of sketches. He participated in his first exhibition in Oregon, in 1992. His first architectural project (1991) was the residence of the country, on the escarpment of Baía de Todos os Santos. In 1994, the artist settled on a coffee farm in Chapada Diamantina where he developed the practice of drawing and painting with greater regularity. A regular at Carybé's studio, he was influenced by sculptural practice involving the use of beaten iron. As an architect, José Ignacio was a project manager in the hotel sector, carrying out several transits throughout Latin America - which allowed him to improve his research and greater circulation of his work, integrating private collections spread across the places where he dwelt. In 2004 he did an artistic residency in Helsinki, Finland, redefining the use of your palette. Reinstalled in Salvador in 2018, the artist carries intellectual concerns that lead him between the affection for continental geography and the nostalgia for a destination. His investigations into the mythological imagery of indigenous matrices poetically translate into deities painted on canvas or sculpted in wood, stone, and iron.

  • Collaged Geometric Disc Mobile - Abstract, Colourful, Canvas and Board Mobile
    By Aron Hill
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    Dynamic and whimsical, Aron Hill’s mobile is a joyful contemporary kinetic sculpture. Three separate discs are covered in a curated collage of shapes and brilliant colours. The colour profile here is Hill’s characteristically vivid palette-- orange, yellow, blue, red, and green punctuated by black and white. Delicately balanced, the sculpture moves in the air redefining the space and affording the viewer a fresh ‘view’. Mobiles have existed for millennia—at first as windchimes, then re-imagined by Russian sculptors...

  • Prelude to the Man Eater, A03849
    By Alexander Calder
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    "Prelude to the Man Eater, A03849" is a mobile sculpture made of sheet metal, wire, and paint by Alexander Calder. The work is signed with the artist's monogram on the uppermost element, "CA". The overall size is 59 x 42 x 18 inches. This work is a study for "Man-Eater With Pennant", part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. The work is also represented in "Sketches for Mobiles: Prelude to Man-Eater; Starfish; Octopus", that is in the permanent collection of the Harvard Fogg Museum. Alexander Calder was a key figure in the development of abstract sculpture and is renowned for his groundbreaking work in kinetic art; he is one of the most influential artists of the Twentieth Century. "Prelude to Maneater" is a delicately balanced standing sculpture that responds to air currents, creating a constantly changing and dynamic visual experience. Calder's Stabiles were a result of his continuous experimentation with materials, form, and balance. This Stabile is a historically significant prelude to a larger work commissioned in 1945 by Alfred Barr, the first director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. "Prelude to Maneater" is designed to be viewed from multiple angles, and encourages viewers to walk around and interact with it. Work by Calder can be found in esteemed private collections, and the collections of major museums worldwide including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Tate Gallery in London among others.
