About the Item

"We Built This City on Rock and Roll" is a vinyl records unique sculpture by Belgian artist Georges Monfils. He re-purposes materials like vinyl records and keyboard keys into sustainable concepts and creations exhibiting his iconic Pop Nouveau style: a stark departure from the mass-produced, factory pop world into a radical, avant-garde haven where true originality is born. Monfils focuses on sculpting universal pop culture icons that are instantly recognizable to all, while simultaneously invoking a sense of wonder and curiosity about how they are constructed.

  • Large Animal Wall Sculpture: 'Wormhole'
    By Gin Stone
    Located in New York, NY
    'I am a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on ecofeminism using fiber and mixed media constructions. My materials include hand-dyed commercially fished line and ghost gear, recycled and antique textiles, fabric printed with cyanotype emulsions and found objects. I change the existing surface of recognizable animals by creating a veneer of unexpected color and imagery. This forces the viewer to consider the shape more carefully by visually exploring its new topography. The creation process can be likened to painting with fiber (that has been tinted with hand-mixed dyes) on a three-dimensional canvas. Intense work is spent creating the eyes and ears to convey the emotion of each animal. I look to the work of Joan Mitchell and The Quilters of Gee’s Bend as inspiration for pattern and color, as well as charts, iconography, and satellite imaging.' -Gin Stone...
