Bertalan Andrasfalvy
Alligator head fossil II, Original Contemporary Sculpture

2022

About the Item

Alligator head fossil II. 4.0 x 7.5 x 13.0, 13.0 lbs Marble Hand signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "'70 million years old alligator fossil were discovered, recently.' Their skulls were cleaned and 'revitalised'. The open jaw is hold by hidden magnets at the back of the skull. It is tightly balanced, so even a gentle touch could close the jaw!" About the Artist: Born in Hungary, Andrasfalvy is 50, with swift dark eyes, a chiseled jaw, and a casually athletic frame that stretch, well over six feet. He exudes a quiet restlessness. He holds an M.D., a Ph.D., and two curricula vitae—one that lists eleven peer-reviewed publications on neuronal physiology, and another that describes dozens of sculptures, several of them commissioned and many gifts. The pivot between art and science started early. When Andrasfalvy was 10 years old, his father gave him a woodcarving set. By age 20, he had completed his first stone sculpture—and was on the path to medical school. Ever since, he’s spent weekends sculpting leftover granite or marble salvaged from graveyard and construction suppliers and weekdays doing research and crafting tools for scientists studying... “My philosophy is that there are only two things you can do to keep creative, like a child: art and science,” Andrasfalvy says. “In these fields, you can follow your curiosity. How does this work? What does it look like? Everything else is a job.”—he says. (By Kathryn Brown) His works are born as abstraction of thoughts and feelings. The adventure is to spell out them without saying it, just give the essence, no more. Only the minimum clues are given in them to recognize what they are, and no more. Beside the most characteristic feature of the intended art piece, many of them had a different, second meaning, like the fish is a hook, too, or the bat is a book, or the neuroscientist’s palette is a slice from a hippocampus. Ludic creations are born from contentment while trials and tribulations induce a state of mind capable of conceiving the transcendental.

  • Tazumal, Abstract Wall Sculpture, 2021
    By Francisco Rosario
    Located in Boston, MA
    Artist Commentary: Tazumal is a piece in a body of work exploring sound and the way that it inhabits space in the built environment. The pattern, repetition, and weaving represent the rhythm, texture, and syncopation of sound. This piece represents an envelope of sound, a finite piece of time, a controlled environment. It is heavily influenced by my time as a DJ and the practice of connecting patterns. It is about a controlled process – the merging of a creative practice with an understanding of materials and technique. In this object the marks of process are left bare, witness to the hand, craft, and labor. It is an homage to skilled work and the workers I learned from. Keywords: abstract, music score, wood, metal Artist Biography: Leaning into a bias toward abstraction/intuition, artist Francisco...
