About the Item
The sculpture entitled "Explosion" has an organic, seemingly spontaneous form, reminiscent of the moment of a powerful explosion or the process of expansion and deformation of a material. It is made of metal, most likely bronze, with a glossy polished surface that reflects light and creates a play of reflections.
The work symbolizes energy, dynamics and the uncontrolled power of destruction or creation. The massive textured form, which seems to be suspended in space, emphasizes the moment of explosive expansion.
The sculpture is installed on a simple cubic pedestal, which contrasts with its chaotic form and adds a sense of stability and balance. This may hint at the confrontation of order and chaos, stability and change.

Splash
By Robert Cook
Located in Greenwich, CT
Robert Cook’s Splash sculpture draws inspiration from the iconic photograph of a drop of milk creating a circle and splash in a pool of milk. This fleeting moment of suspended motion sparked Cook’s exploration of how to capture such dynamic energy in a static form.
Robert Cook was a great American sculptor and his works are in many museums and his iconic Dinoseras piece commands a spot on the street of New York at 51st Street.
Important to note with this work that it is unique and there are no other casts. Cook sculpted in wax and when he cast this destroyed the wax and there was no mould. Very few sculptors work in this manner and it speaks to a very pure and altruistic form of sculpture. If perhaps he had been more commercially minded he would have done large editions but instead he valued singularity as in nature.
In Splash, Cook freezes a moment of kinetic energy, capturing the elegant tension between impact and expansion. The sculpture embodies both grace and chaos, with a fluidity that suggests movement at the very instant it’s frozen in time. Cook’s mastery of his medium allows this dynamic moment to be immortalized in bronze, creating a powerful and emotional resonance that transcends the physical form, making Splash both a formal and philosophical exploration of time, space, and motion.
