About the Item

Bronze and Concrete on Polished Steel Stand. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Danette Landry was a longtime resident of California before moving to Paris to pursue studies in cultural anthropology. After receiving a master’s degree and completing her thesis at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Sociales in Paris, Landry decided to devote herself to a life of art. This turning point manifested as a profound and splintering journey, reigniting a creative process that was instilled at a young age by her mother, a self-taught painter. Landry calls for a constant reconstruction and materialization of one’s self. This force is represented in her bronze monoliths. Landry identifies each monolith with a gender, and individually they carry a variety of wounds analogous to those found in humanity. The feminine monoliths depict resilience and strength through a complex stacking of very small geometric plates. The masculine monoliths portray a physical and emotional weight bearing a similarity to geological elements with smooth eroded lines and rock-like features. Altogether, Landry's patinated bronze sculptures exude a driving force to survive anything she expresses, representing her individual will to resist and reconstruct life’s trials and hardship.

Before the Animals, 36"high mixed media, unique sculpture
Located in Loveland, CO
"Before the Animals" by Chapel 36x14x8" one-of-a-kind sculpture Mixed Media: Cast Bronze, Dyed Concrete, Steel, Marble This particular piece is available from the estate of the artist. It is in excellent, like-new, condition. Shipping price includes the custom packing necessary for safe transport of fine art. Chapel, 1948-2021, Artist's Statement: “I was raised on the Western Slope of Colorado, with almost unfettered access to the American wilderness. I currently reside on a sailboat in Oakland, CA with my studio in nearby San Leandro. I work with permanent materials including bronze, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, glass and stone. It is my contention that a work of art must include a complete environment, not just a single object. In my opinion, it is very difficult to convey meaning with either pure abstraction, or pure representation. Describing an abstract concept with another abstraction does not define the subject. There is nothing in a completely non-objective artwork from the viewers experience upon which to base some meaning. One the other hand, a completely realistic presentation doesn't define an abstraction any better than a dictionary. This is why my sculpture is a blend - the symbolic joining of modern man with primitive experience. They are in-depth studies of the archetypes and symbols used to communicate their relevance to our everyday lives. Mythology, poetry and art are humanity's attempt to describe the mysteries of life which are beyond our ability to consciously comprehend. This is the appeal of the visual arts, poetry, literature and music; they excite an emotional response, or memory that transcends mere words.” - Ron Chapel...
