"Cinnabar, " Copper and Stone signed by Dennis Robert

2018

About the Item

"Cinnabar" is an original sculpture by Dennis Robert. It is signed at the base. Copper pieces burst out from a piece of store, the style reminiscent of natural forms. 11" x 5" x 3" "Observing the natural landscape around me, I’m inspired by the unique patterns and distinctive shapes from plants, animals as well as the colors and textures of rocks. The seeming permanence of metal and stone used as compositional elements captures the essence of what I see, and I translate those elements and designs into sculptures. It starts with the stone. I use sandstone and slate from the Southwestern deserts as a foundation for the sculptures. The look, feel and texture of the stone influences the shape the metal will ultimately become. My intent is to show the relationship and origin of the metal from the earth, and bring it full circle in its journey back to its original state. Forming metal pieces into repetitive shapes that mimic those found in nature enables me to convey this connection. My goal is for the sculptures to reveal an alternative perspective, providing the viewer with a diverse and unique visual experience."-Dennis Robert

'Stork Bird' original opal serpentine Shona sculpture signed by Jonathan Nhete
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Stork Bird' is an original opal serpentine stone sculpture signed by the contemporary Zimbabwean artist Jonathan Nhete. The artist presents in this sculpture a highly abstracted figure of a bird, the long beak and eye of which emerges shining and polished from within a heroic almond-shaped loop formed by the bird's wings. Such abstracted forms recall traditional African sculpture as well as the work of modern masters like Constantin Brancusi who looked to non-Western sources for inspiration. The sculpture's surface is brought to a beautiful polish, allowing the green of the serpentine to create a glittering depth as immense as a lake or river. opal serpentine 32 x 19 x 6 1/2 inches, sculpture 2.75 x 12 x 12 inches, concrete and marble base (included at request of buyer) 34 .75 x 19 x 12 inches, overall 85 lbs signed "Nhete Jonathan" along bottom edge on reverse with hole drilled in foot to accommodate 0.5-inch steel support rod overall good condition; brown stain at base of bird neck; some minor scratches Jonathan Nhete was born on November 16, 1972 into a family of 5 boys.

Joy Buddies
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary: The Joy Buddies were created from a simple question I asked myself - if joy were tangible, what would it look like? The Joy Buddies message is that we are better, together. I created them to symbolize the joy and hope I feel like I come together in unity with the people I love. Over the years, they have exhibited across the country in various sculptural and digital art forms but always keeping true to their same human-like shape and fire-painted designs.
