About the Item

This large contemporary African-inspired mask assemblage is an eye-catcher. The sharp contrast between the bright red and deep blue colors has a powerful visual statement and awakens your senses immediately. It will be a very personal and thrilling curiosity to have hanging. The sculptural artwork is an assemblage made of mixed media. Within it, you will find horns, fur, claws, an animal skull, hair, feathers, wooden objects, hair, etc. All of it is assembled and mounted on a wooden showcase and topped with a plexiglass box. The assemblage is made by the internationally celebrated Danish artist and sculptor Jørgen Waring (1938-2022). During his career, his works have been represented at many museums, art fairs, and galleries ranging from New York to Oklahoma, Switzerland, Paris, etc.. One highlight of his career was his exhibition period 1984-1988 in New York at the Gallery ARRAS (“Trump Tower”) which attracted many buyers of his works that among others counted celebrities such as Roger More, Frank Sinatra, and Donald Trump. Much inspiration for his works was derived from Africa (Kenya) where he enjoyed a lot of his leisure time. He was especially interested in the large wildlife and for many years he was employed as a guide for safaris. We have chosen to add pictures of the assemblage with a spotlight on it as well as without any artificial light to give a sense of how powerful the colors are independent of lighting methods. The condition of the artwork is great. The original plexiglass box has a few scratches that are consistent with its age and natural wear but they are generally not noticeable unless specifically scouting for them close up.

Extra-Large Dutch Contemporary Abstract Portrait By Hans Bouman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
An exquisite contemporary painting by Dutch artist, Hans Bouman. In this painting Bouman creates a captivating interplay of colors and forms that gives rise to an enigmatic abstract face that invites interpretation and contemplation. This captivating large-scale abstract painting is a harmonious blend of warm white, earthy tones, invigorating orange, and calming blue hues. Hans Bouman, born in the Netherlands in 1951, embarked on his artistic journey at the Amsterdam Graphic School and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Fine Arts. During the early 1980s, Paris became his haven of inspiration, where his debut in galleries marked the onset of an international presence that continues to flourish. Bouman's artistic evolution is characterized by cycles of creativity, but it is his larger-than-life hieratic heads that he is renown for. These remarkable pieces pay homage to influences as diverse as the Moai sculptures of Easter Island, the intricate masks of Africa...
