FIFA - Found Object Sculpture with Deflated Soccer Ball and Barbed Wire

2021

About the Item

A found object is a natural or man-made item, or fragment of an item that is found by an artist and kept because of some intrinsic interest the artist sees in it. Beginning with Picasso, who incorporated newspapers and matchboxes into his cubist collages and constructions, this idea has been carried forward. It was popular with the Dada and Surrealist movements and with such great artists as Damien Hurst and Henry Moore. Here, artist Rick Farrell has taken those ideals, incorporating many found objects that have inspired him, to create these small unorthodox sculptures.

  • "Philomena Dates a Photon" mixed media sculpture
    Located in Glen Ellen, CA
    This large-scale suspended sculpture is made from welded and powder-coated steel, repurposed highway reflectors, and a cut-glass sphere. It is pictured here installed outdoors with an optional welded steel stand, but the sculpture can also be suspended from another structure or stand, indoors or outdoors. Watch the short video to see "Philomena Dates a Photon" spinning from the ceiling in an indoor gallery setting! Jeff Glode Wise makes wildly exuberant sculptures. He utilizes such diverse materials as steel, wood, stone, glass, concrete, bronze, and gold -- whichever is the most appropriate for the aesthetic and functional purposes at hand. He then transforms these materials through various techniques and crafts honed for years through his practice of jewelry making: welding, carving, casting, meticulous fitting, plating, etc. Art and the making of objects have defined Jeff Wise...
