Nino Franchina
Silver Composition - Silvered Bronze Sculpture by N. Franchina - 1960

1960

About the Item

Silver Composition is an original decorative object realized by Nino Franchina in 1960. Original sculpture realized in silvered bronze. Bronze patinated silver sculpture. Signed and dated on the base: "Nino Franchina 60". Pyramid wooden base. Excellent conditions. "The material that I love the most is iron [...] Iron bends very docilely; when it is incandescent it has an immense charm, it writhes, flickers, offers itself, dances". These are the words that the artist uses to describe his works. Beautiful abstract sculpture made of iron, silver and bronze coated. Sculpture is a typical example of Franchina's art that has succeeded in conveying abstraction with naturalism thanks to the use of materials such as wood, iron and metals in general.

  • Widows and Maidens #6
    By Sherry Owens
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    Sherry Owens Windows and Maidens #6, 2019 Bronze, patina, crepe myrtle, dye, milk paint, wax 11 x 14 3/4 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...
