About the Item
This beautifully patinated bronze sculpture composed of segmented curves sits on a tall stainless steel pedestal.
Frank Morbillo was born in Queens and raised on Long Island, but as a young adult moved west — first to Montana and eventually to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Morbillo’s work is clearly influenced both by the man-made landscape of urban architecture, and by the starker, more abrupt western landscapes which stand as evidence of the forces that shape our natural environment. His abstract sculptures emanate from this experience of the Southwest landscape; not in a descriptive, representational way, but rather as he bears witness to the sustained and dramatic effects of time on his environment.
Morbillo's intimate relationship with all aspects of metal working, including the patina process, has enabled him to add an organic quality to his work, forging a connection between his own sculptural aesthetic and the forces at work in the natural environment. His mastery of materials and processes is especially apparent in his bronze works with rich patinas, like the work shown here.

Frank Morbillo
Frank Morbillo is an American contemporary artist and sculptor, born in Queens and raised on Long Island, New York. As a young adult, he moved west, first to Montana and eventually to Santa Fe, New Mexico. His work is clearly influenced both by the man-made landscape of urban architecture and by the starker, more abrupt western landscapes that stand as evidence of the forces that shape our natural environment. His abstract sculptures emanate from this experience of the Southwest landscape, not in a descriptive, representational way, but rather as he bears witness to the sustained and dramatic effects of time on his environment.
Frank's intimate relationship with all aspects of metal working, including the patina process, has enabled him to add an organic quality to his work, forging a connection between his own sculptural aesthetic and the forces at work in the natural environment. His mastery of materials and processes is especially apparent when he combines two materials, glass and metal or steel and bronze. The resulting contrast evokes the smooth and craggy textures, the bright light and deep shadows, the wide sky and sculpted canyons.

Pisapia's "Expedition Series," inspired by sea voyages, is about meeting life’s challenges with courage and purpose. It connects to the idea expressed by J.W. Goethe: “Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.” Taking up life’s tasks can require one to go against the wind. The feeling of determination to achieve and continue steering through obstacles is poured into the pure forms; a dynamic balancing of the straight and curve on different axes. "With a rounded starting point," Pisapia explains, "I add on a variety of disparate angles, diverse curves, and twisting planes. I carve and smooth the surfaces, bringing out particular tensions and transitions."
Flavius Valone Pisapia is an Italian-Romanian artist born in Bucharest in 1981. He completed his higher education in the UK, with an MA in Transpersonal Arts & Therapy, 2014; a Diploma in Transformative Arts, 2011; and a BA (Hons) in Film and Video, 2005. Pisapia studied sculpture throughout his higher education and appreciated several sculptor mentors in the UK. Since 2016, he has resided in India, where he is currently an artist in residence at Studio Sukriti in Jaipur. He has had several solo exhibitions in India and his artwork is found in private collections worldwide.
"It's important for me to experience the world at a deeper level by penetrating the veil of the senses. Through an immersive process the essence, beauty and the pure form of an idea are gradually revealed to me. The emerging awareness flows into my artwork imbuing it with a higher reality. To achieve this awareness in my creative process, I go through three stages: imagination, inspiration and intuition." - Flavius Pisapia
