Tom Price
Synthesis 1 by Tom Price - Sculpture and lighting, LED, original, abstract, pink

2014-2020

About the Item

Synthesis 1 is a sculpture by contemporary artist Tom Price. This sculpture is made of resin, tar, steel, acrylic and LED, dimensions are 205 × 50 × 50 cm (80.7 × 19.7 × 19.7 in). This artwork is available on commission. It will be created on the same basis as shown in the images and under the same conditions. Each piece is unique due to the creative process used. Tom Price experiments with chemical reactions in the 'Synthesis' series by forcing resin and tar to coexist while heating materials and using catalysis. Fissures, voids, and cracks form as the tar fragments inserted into the resin blocks widen, changing the resin's original appearance, colour, and properties. Now the two combine to form a brand-new element. Although the artist initiates and directs the creative process, he or she cannot fully control the chemical reactions, and the end result is constantly different and goes beyond his or her expectations. The artworks in the Synthesis series are awe-inspiringly beautiful, mysterious, and intriguing, capturing the admiration of the viewer for the forms in the details, the subtle colour variations, and the shifting light reflections. In some artworks, like this one, LED lights (via cable) emphasise this strong visual impact.

Archimedes Vortex
By Terry Poulos
Located in Chicago, IL
Modern-day 3-dimensional facsimile of the 1-dimensional mathematical axis spiral found in the ancient manuscript titled the "Archimedes Palimpsest." Sculpture conveys a double entendre with its proprietary version of the universe spiraling through space, evoking Archimedes’ effort to calculate the volume of the universe. The universe is depicted via the vortex spiral and globe as supercooled and superheated, a polar opposite electrical balance of nature. An armillary sphere conveys Archimedes' math treatises on the circle, sphere and cylinder. Included are one vintage pulley and corkscrew (representing the water screw), both honoring Archimedes inventions, and one valve handle. SPECS: Spot-welded seven-foot long vintage iron chain, vintage armillary sphere...
