Copper Tritscheller
Glass Bat on Branch with Glass Moon in Circle

About the Item

Bronze, Cast lead glass bat and moon Bats are a matter of perception. This work captures bats in bronze and glass, two extraordinary elements that when fused, create a tension between light and a weighted dark. Bats, most often perceived as creatures of the night, come to life with refractive light and color in these pieces. Glass is a thoughtful material – technically challenging and delicate – which draws attention to not just the beauty of bats but also their endangered status. Copper was first inspired to sculpt bats when she was visiting a temple in Chachongsao, Thailand, where she encountered hundreds of thousands of bats hanging above her, wings gently quivering. Copper remembers that she had never thought about bats before, but at that moment she was captivated and started to research them. The more she learned, the deeper her respect for these marvelous creatures, and the more she wanted to find a way to help people understand and appreciate them. In her bat sculptures, Copper enjoys taking liberties with their features and morphing them with humans, blurring the lines between bats and people.

  • Canopo - Anthropomorphic Bronze Sculpture with Opening Elements
    By Angelo Canevari
    Located in New York, NY
    This bronze anthropomorphic sculpture is part of the "Canopo" series. With a modern interpretation, Canevari revisited the sacred vases of the ancient Etruscan civilization from the regions of Tuscany and Umbria in Italy. The Etruscans were a polytheistic civilization that believed that all visible phenomena were a manifestation of divine power. Canevari interprets the theme's secrecy and mysteriousness in this monumental yet intimate piece. The curved anthropomorphic and totemic shape of the sculpture opens into a magical inside, hiding more secrets and sacred objects. The two sides open like embracing arms, revealing a star-shaped medallion and a glass pendulum. The use of rings and solid bronze blocks hanging and protruding from the surface creates a theatrical play of light and shadows. Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century. He has been commissioned several works by the Vatican, including the Bronze Doors of the Cathedral of Belluno and the Vatican Coins...
