David Chamberlain
Senza Misura - smooth, polished, abstract, contemporary, mahogany sculpture

1981

About the Item

This modern indoor sculpture by David Chamberlain was inspired by music and is made out of mahogany wood. The graceful curves of this contemporary solid mahogany sculpture by David Chamberlain appear in one illuminating perspective to emulate the image of a heart. Hand carved from one piece of this rare wood; the abstract form’s surface is such that the insides become the outsides creating a continuous, enigmatic, integrated form. The naturally rich grain is highly finished with a soft lustre that accentuates the form. Chamberlain’s sculptures are designed to rotate so that the form and character changes with every turn. A talented musician, composer and singer, Chamberlain’s artwork is inspired by the freeform language of jazz music. Each sculpture bears a musical name. Senza Misura is an Italian musical term that means to play ‘without a beat' or 'without measure.’ For Chamberlain, that term also relates to the ideal of romantic love—loving without measure as represented by this beautiful form. “I’m influenced by relationships and patterns in things I both see and hear.” David Chamberlain David Allen Chamberlain was born in Canton, Ohio in 1949. He attended Princeton University in 1971 where he received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Architecture. In 1977 he acquired a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the University of Pennsylvania. That was followed by a graduate certificate from the Teaching Studio Art Institute of Colorado College and finally a master’s in landscape architecture from the University of Colorado. Over several decades, he has created more than 2000 pieces of artwork in various mediums which appear in both private collections and in art institutions, museums, and colleges around the world. This sculpture can be upscaled for the outdoors. Available on a commission basis in various sizes and in a variety of materials including bronze and steel.
