Jana Osterman
Ovoid 4/9 - intimate, smooth, polished, cast gypsum, bronze sculpture

2021

About the Item

The undulating gentle curves of this sculpture by artist Jana Osterman emulate organic egg shaped forms found in nature. Created out of gypsum, polymer and bronze, the finish is patinated with acid which gives the piece a beautiful deep blue weathered finish. Layers of wax protect this sculpture so it can be handled easily. This is one in a series of nine and weighs 9lbs. “The idea behind this was to create an intimate piece someone would pick up and touch, such as meditation beads or a touchstone.” Jana Osterman Born in Slovenia, Jana Osterman moved to Holland where she studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. She continued with printmaking studies in England. For the last 20 years, Osterman has worked as a full-time artist and fabricator in Canada, first in Toronto and now in Prince Edward County, Ontario. Osterman’s artworks, including public commissions, are held in collections in Canada, Slovenia, Germany, England and Dubai.

Almost a Symphony
By Sherry Owens
Located in New Orleans, LA
Sherry Owens Almost a Symphony, 2019 Bronze, patina, brass nails, paint 16 5/8 x 12 1/4 x 11 3/4 inches For over 30 years, sculptor Sherry Owens has used the sinewy crepe myrtle tree to tell her story of the Texas landscape, death, renewal, beauty, and of today’s growing environmental concerns. Remnants of personal stories, visions and observations in nature are the driving forces in her work. She believes that what we see and do in our daily lives leaves a mark on our planet. It is the direct impact of human activities on the natural world, which is visualized in her artistic practice. She creates connections with nature using crepe myrtle trees found along the side of the road. Each stick is hand-carved and cut to fit, then laid in place and secured with a small myrtle peg. What takes precedence in the laborious process is the importance of detail and evidence of the artist’s hand and her interaction with the materials. Sherry Owens is a native Texan, currently living and working in Dallas, TX. She received a BFA from Southern Methodist University. Recent Texas solo exhibitions include The Grace Museum; Cris Worley Fine Arts; Martin Museum of Art; Art Museum of Southeast Texas; and a two-person site-specific installation at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum. She was also included in recent exhibitions at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, TX and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, LA. She has exhibited internationally in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, India, Japan, Peru, and Turkey. Her work is currently on view in the Ground Zero 360 Remembrance Exhibition at the Museum of Biblical Art...
