Franck K
Psyche by Franck K - Installation of six sculptures, outdoor, colourful, steel

2018

About the Item

Psyche is a unique installation of three mirror-polished stainless steel sculptures on a concrete base and three painted stainless steel stabiles and bases by contemporary artist Franck K, dimensions are 300 × 510 × 280 cm (118.1 × 200.8 × 110.2 in). The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. It is possible to set this piece outside. The sculptures made of mirror-polished stainless steel are only finished on one side; the other is painted black. You can commission this piece of art. It will be produced on the same basis and with the same parameters as depicted in the pictures. The creative process used makes each piece unique. These pictures depict the artwork on display in the grounds of Lavey-les-Bains, Switzerland's Grand Hôtel des Bains. The artist may suggest to the collector where the piece should be placed and may even be able to alter the piece in advance to make it fit the space. The stainless steel creations by Franck K interact with the surrounding light and reflections. The smooth, polished surface of these sculptures is distorted by lumps and hollows. Inspired by the waves and reflections on the sea's surface, they appear to be in constant motion. French contemporary sculptor Franck K works and lives in the south-west of France, close to Pau. His self-taught career started in the family business's boiler-making workshop, where he first learned how to work with materials as a child, especially metal. Its technical expertise provides a strong base upon which the calibre of its work is constructed. His artistic approach began when he created his first slate sculpture at the age of eight.

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...
