About the Item

Theseus 60.0 x 70.0 x 3.0, 45.0 lbs Silver Hand signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "Inspired by Greek mythology and the materials used are hand stitched jute sacks and hand extruded plaster. The surface is a silver plating technique. There are five layers of metals under the silver." About the Artist: Eduardo Terranova was born in Cali, Colombia in 1976. He studied architecture and art at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). His works are known for his reflective and rich-surface visuals. Terranova’s evolving techniques incorporate plaster, burlap, hand stitching and precious metals that transform two-dimensional surfaces into sculptural works that flawlessly integrate art, design and craft. He is inspired by materials¬¬--items that seem to have lost their purpose and identity. In fact, he believes that materials have their own journeys, moving from one place to another. At each step, they lose something in their passage as they seem to be falling apart, then gaining as he sits at the back of a church or a synagogue, hand stitching many of the rips and “sores” in the material into a canvas for his work. For Terranova, this is especially true for jute sacks, and the memory of what was “inside” and “outside.” They speak to him, forcing him to question renewal, value, migration, globalization, and economic exchange. The sacks that he gathers from farmers markets and take new life as part of his artwork conjure many memories and become the signifiers of exploitation and abuse as well as beauty and the creative force. As he weaves plaster, crushed pearls, resins and precious metals into them, the sacks are transformed with new life. Architecture, entropy and socio-dichotomies are “built” together as light, shadows and an infinity of scintillations emerge to unveil a new language and expression. Eduardo Terranova’s past in his own voice: As an eight-year-old boy, I remember vividly my grandfather taking me by the hand to the Gold Museum in Bogotá, Colombia. It was the most incredible thing I had ever seen. How I remember the sparks, the glitter and reflection. How magical! I remember to this day when we sat in a dark circular room in the museum. I was holding my grandfather's hand tightly. Suddenly, the light in the room started coming on, second by second, and everything started sparkling, glittering, shining! I was startled by what I had just experienced: It was a visceral reaction of fear, visual feast, and magic! When all the lights were fully on, I felt as if was inside the sun. That memory is the seed of my work, the nugget of my creative endeavors. Later as an immigrant, with many “dents” and setbacks along the way, I held on to that “golden light.” This spark led me to study art and architecture and develop a practice that allows me to see the light in a simple jute sack.

Japanese Botany, Original Contemporary Abstract Mixed Media Textile Wall Hanging

Located in Boston, MA

Japanese Botany, Original Contemporary Abstract Mixed Media Textile Wall Hanging Artist Commentary: INSPIRED IN JAPANESE AESTHETICS Keywords: Abstract, Nature, patterns, circles, ovals, white Artist Biography: My artwork is engaged to nature and its recurrent patterns and rhythms. I use them as a base in order to create my compositions. I´m attracted to repetitive sequences, combining separate elements to form a cohesive group. It isn’t a strict conceptual idea of repetition on itself; my work doesn’t seek to impose an order or structure, but rather to enjoy the rhythm of repetition. Silk and paper have the softness and malleability that I need in order to create my desired forms, shapes and even shadows. The process to carry out my work is thorough and methodical. I choose as materials small and simple elements; such as feathers made out of paper and silk and then organized in a precise order. This allows me to build a group of entities that end up being the final artwork. My goal is to create projects that inspire, connect and touch people emotionally, taking the viewer on a journey through different ethereal, botanical and peaceful landscapes. I was Born in Santiago, Chile in 1973. I grew up surrounded by Chilean...

Cohabitation

By Evan Stuart Marshall

Located in Boston, MA

Artist Commentary: In this striking abstract painting, variously sized shapes crowd one another for space. Sometimes they push and squish into each other, sometimes they overlap—a fun, quirky statement about the way we all get along. Brilliant blues, greens, and fuchsias with crisp black outlines make a bold statement. A fun piece that I hope will make people think. Words that describe this piece: quirky, blue, red, magenta, black Details about the piece: This is a hand-painted, original acrylic painting. Professional grade acrylic paints on canvas. Wired and ready to hang. Signed on the back. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
