About the Item

Brett-Livingstone Strong (born 31 October 1953) is an Australian-born artist, best known for his sculptures of Hollywood celebrities. In 1972, Strong was commissioned to paint the royal invitation for the opening of the Sydney Opera House by Queen Elizabeth II In 1977, Strong carved John Wayne's face in a 12½-ton boulder that had fallen onto the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. In 1979, he sold it to an Arizona company and it currently resides in the library of the Lubbock Christian University in Lubbock, Texas. Strong created a life-size bronze statue of John Lennon, entitled Imagine. He began work on the sculpture as a tribute to Lennon after the musician's death in 1980.]Originally unveiled in New York City by Andy Warhol, it currently is in the possession of a private collector. Strong painted a portrait of Michael Jackson entitled The Book which reportedly sold for $2.1 million to Hiromichi Saeki Corp. in 1990,[ making it the most money ever paid to a living artist for the sale of a portrait.This portrait is claimed to be the only portrait that Michael Jackson sat for an artist's rendering and made its first appearance since 1992 in July 2009.It was displayed for public viewing in Harlem near the Apollo Theater.Strong was a good friend of Michael Jackson and Strong's studio houses a large collection of Jackson's artwork. In the 1980s, Strong completed work on the National Monument to the US Constitution, commissioned by former Chief Justice Warren E. Burger.The monument was to have been dedicated by president George W. Bush and placed on the grounds of the White House.[citation needed] Currently the monument is part of a nationwide educational program entitled The Spirit of Freedom about the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. In the mid 1980s, Strong's painting Homage a Henri Rousseau became the cover artwork for the 1987 Fleetwood Mac album Tango in the Night. The original painting had been bought by singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and was hanging in Strong's home at the time. Strong created NASA's National Space Exploration Monument for display in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC In July 1994, Vice-President Al Gore announced this monument honouring the men and women of the United States Space Program and celebrating the anniversary of man's landing on the moon.

Bronze Sculpture EXCLOS

By Guillaume Roche

Located in Pasadena, CA

Guillaume ROCHE The artist translates movement and energy through the dynamism of assemblages and seeks the balance of composition. His sculptures offer aerial movements, round shapes with powerful lines, delicate and sensual cuts. The contextualization of his works, inscribing the approach of Guillaume Roche in the field of architecture: work of structure, lines, matter and skin, study of a volume and its proportions according to context and environment. His work is conceived to be connected with the territory. The EXCLOS series is born from the encounter of the concepts of EXPLOSION and ECLOSION. The artist conceives these imposing spheres of steel as a powerful breath contained by a gentle force that channels and envelops this primary energy. Working with stainless steel, Guillaume seeks contrast through concepts such as full-void, light-weight, balance-fall. In contrast, he finds total freedom of creation...
