About the Item

Presented is a one-of-a-kind single edition sculpture by female sculptor artist Sherry Rossini. Hand carved by the artist from alabaster stone that was imported from Italy. The base also is carved from the same imported alabaster stone. The sculpture seemingly floats weightlessly but is attached and secured with solid brass rod to the base providing stability. This sculpture can be considered abstract contemporary, non- representational, but also considered representational as it carries interpretations such as floral, a flower in process of blooming, a shell, an ocean wave, a new beginning, or a new breath unfurling. For the artist it represents a new beginning. The work evokes a captivating ethereal energy with soft curvatures and details from every angle of view. The alabaster has a radiant translucency that when positioned near light one can almost see through it. History: This work, New Breath, has exhibited in 2022 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum and Gallery, in 2023 at the Noyes Museum of Art, and is now available for private collection. Hand delivery and installation available for Eastern Coast, USA. Contact for pricing. Rossini was formally trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the country’s first art museum and art school founded in 1805. With a rich history in classical tradition, Rossini received the Master of Fine Art in 2022. Through residencies in Pietrasanta, Italy, Rossini was formally trained specifically in marble carving traditions passed down from generations of master artisans in the region. Rossini’s sculptures are hand carved from marble stone sourced from the Altissimo mountains of Carrera where she spent time meditating and connecting with the source of the material that she is drawn to. Rossini’s work expresses a deep connection and appreciation for classical materials and traditions such as marble and bronze yet offers the parallel connection to today’s contemporary time. Her current series titled Breath Forms are a contemporary abstract collection of sculptures carved in Carrara marble and Italian alabaster inspired through meditation. The work carries various interpretations such as ocean waves, a flower blossoming, or the air entering and exiting the body. A new beginning unfurling from the inside. “This work is an exploration grounded through meditation. Through these practices I turn my focus inward to the breath and root into the energy of the earth around me. As I inhale and exhale, images appear in my mind of the breath breathing the body. Each breath becomes a form itself, existing in its own moment. Honoring the life force energy as the source, the Breath Forms series is developed offering a symbolic permanence to these ephemeral moments.” - S. Rossini

Landscapes of the Soul and of the Mind XV , Abstract Expressionist Landscape
Located in Doylestown, PA
"Landscapes of the Soul and of the Mind XV " is a 40 x 40 inches, original, abstract landscape by American master colorist painter Al Lachman. The artwork is a gallery wrapped canvas, signed "Lachman" in the lower left. It is part of the artist's series "Landscapes of the Soul and of the Mind". The artist puts his thumb upon the pulse of life and records it. In that mystical beat lies the unknown, and he would but make it known. Being both, innovator and spectator, he exists as an intrinsic part of that rhythm. Each painting begins with a premise, and I rarely use the same one twice. It is based on what I see and what I am feeling at that moment. I do not think that painting is about technique. It is about a particular perception of the world around us. The premise creates the periphery of my intent. It is a limitation that gives birth to the creative forces within. - Al Lachman Born in 1936 in the Bronx, NY, Alan Lachman...
