Mercury by Zieta, Mounted Sculpture in Stainless Steel

2023

About the Item

Mercury Set of mirrors by Zieta Poetry of multiplication Diameter 150 cm x Depth 7 cm MERCURY is a reflecting installation of 89 air-inflated, bulging, stone-like structures forming a disorderly circle. The constellation of irregular silver elements awakens bionic references. It reminds us of a cell seen through a microscope or liquid metallic elements suspended in space. MERCURY creates a cosmic effect, multiplying and generating flickering reflections of its surroundings. Minimalist and dreamlike, MERCURY creates an otherworldly effect when hung on a wall. Each element suggests softness, and tempts the sense of sight, forcing the spectator of the light performance to take a different perspective on the surrounding reality. By creating and reproducing shimmering reflections of the surroundings, the object evokes cosmic impressions by generating serendipitous flickering effects around it. MERCURY performs its role as wall decor, mirror, and modern convex haut-relief. Its versatility is defined by precise design and production processes. Each and every piece is manufactured in FiDU technology, meaning that it is individually drawn, cut in metal, welded on its edges, and deformed by compressed air from its 2.5D form to a small, 3D, extra-terrestrial object, later composed into an 89-piece constellation.

Geyser - tall, contemporary, abstract, stainless steel, outdoor, sculpture
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Quebec sculptor Bernard Hamel often looks to nature as a source of inspiration for his contemporary sculptures. Geyser emulates the fluid form of a spout of water erupting from the ground and shooting skyward. Forged from fine individual rods of stainless steel, this elegant and dynamic shape suggests turbulent motion. Geysers are a rare natural phenomenon. Hamel prefers to work in a variety of materials including wood and metals, often incorporating the sculpture into a natural environment. “My sculptural approach is essentially based on a direct relationship with the material….The material directs my gestures, determines my choices and the tools allow me, with their singularity, to model these shapes. Memories meet material to transform into a sculptural form with organic lines.” Bernard Hamel Bernard Hamel was born in Quebec and lives and works in St. Roch des Aulnaies. He completed a bachelor’s degree in visual arts at UQAM with a focus on sculpture. To perfect his knowledge of wood he completed a course in cabinetmaking at the Institut québécois d’ébénisterie, in Quebec. In 2005, he took a woodturning course with Jean-François Escoulen and André Martel, two internationally renowned turners. Since 1999, Hamel has taught sculpture at the Maison des Métiers d’Art de Québec. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in Quebec and participated in international symposia including the Camille Claudel Sculpture...

Ascent, 39"high mixed media, unique sculpture
Located in Loveland, CO
"Ascent" by Chapel 39x12x6" one-of-a-kind sculpture Mixed Media: Dyed Concrete, Stainless Steel, Marble, Steel, Slate 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...
