About the Item
"Hanging out #3" is a bronze sculpture created by artist Maidy Morhous. The sculpture is 1 of an edition of 15.
An accomplished printmaker as well as sculptor, Maidy Morhous was born in Upstate New York. She currently creates out of her studio in Del Mar, thirty minutes north of San Diego, California. Morhous received her Master of Fine Arts degree while continuing studies at Stanley Hayter's Atelier 17 in Paris, France in the mid-1970's. Before returning to the States, she traveled to Italy to study casting techniques at the Marinelli Foundry in Florence, Italy. Morhous became fascinated with how bronze, a cold, hard metal, could take on such a soft sensuous appearance, and has since worked exclusively with bronze.
Maidy Morhous' sculptures cannot be taken in with one glance. They pull in the viewer and force them to react and question what they are viewing; be it to question life and one's existence, the world's plight, or just to bring a smile to one's face. Morhous has spent years examining social critique, political, and cultural issues. The resistance to the oppression of socially inscribed narratives and socially dominating practices presented sublimely to the viewer are open to interpretation. Her recent artwork is devoid of the human form, which permeates most of her early sculptures, adding a refreshing twist on commentary.
Morhous is currently showing in several exhibits across the country, including a solo exhibition at Tohoku Fukushi University, Sendai, Japan, and at the Oceanside Museum of Art in Oceanside, California. She is also featured in the award winning documentary film "One," by Heartland Films Inc. Her recently commissioned sculpture "Humanity" is the subject of the documentary. Maidy's work can be found in public and private collections in the United States, Japan, Europe and Canada.

Maidy Morhous
Maidy Morhous is an accomplished printmaker and painter as well as sculptor. Born in New York, she currently creates out of her studio 30 minutes north of San Diego, California. Morhous received her Master of Fine Arts degree while studying at Stanley Hayter’s Atelier 17 in Paris in the mid-1970s. Before returning to the States, she then traveled to Italy to further her studies in casting techniques at the Fonderia Artistica–Marinelli Foundry in Florence. Morhous expresses herself through the medium of bronze, which allows her to portray extremes, from the soft flow of water to the harsh asphalt pavement of our world. Her work encompasses the pop art concept of presenting commonplace objects as fine art. It is meant to engage viewers and to allow them to contemplate and pull from within, to disengage for a moment from the outside world. Morhous continually searches to portray her environment in the world today. Her contemporary still life sculptures pull viewers in while forcing them to question what is being viewed, be it life and one’s existence, the plight of the world, or merely something to bring a smile. Her idiomatic titles prompt metaphorical interpretations and hint at multilayered meanings. Morhous is currently showing in museum exhibitions and galleries across the country, and her work can also be found in public and private collections in Japan, England, Europe, Australia and Canada.

- Polychrome Bronze Organic Sculpture Polich Tallix Art Foundry Sleeping BeautyBy Robert KushnerLocated in Surfside, FLRobert Kushner, born in 1949, in California, lives in New York, and is a painter and sculptor. He gained attention in the early seventies as a performance artist, using food, fabric and nudity. Kushner was associated with the Pattern and Decoration movement and used fabric collage in large-scale, bold paintings of the figure. Since 1987 he has used flowers as the subject of his paintings, more recently adding a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables to his repertoire. Kushner's use of rich color harmonies and bold, fluid drawing, mark his belief in the importance of beauty in our lives. Kushner draws from a unique range of influences, including Islamic and European textiles, Henri Matisse, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Demuth, Pierre Bonnard, Tawaraya Sotatsu, Ito Jakuchu...Category
