Jørgen Waring
"African Image" Large Assemblage African Red Blue Mask By Danish Jørgen Waring

1994

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.
