Francesca Bernardini
I protect you by Francesca Bernardini - Abstract sculpture, Carrara marble

2017

About the Item

Statuario Carrara marble sculpture, iron base. 14 × 30 × 18 cm The indicated dimensions include the iron base of the sculpture. The sculpture is maintained on the base with a rod but it is movable. Dimensions of the sculpture: 14 H x 24 L x 16 D cm. Dimensions of the base : 0,5 H x 30 L x 18 D cm. This sculpture is part of the series Nests, Cocoons, Crysalis, initiated in 2000. The sculptures in this series are closed forms, containers that evoke protected and intimate places: nests represent the home and the family, cocoons and chrysalises are protective envelopes where one develops and transforms in complete safety. The series was born out of a moment of personal internal exploration by the sculptor, around her need to protect her loved ones as well as her desire for family and motherhood.

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...
