Eugene Antoine Aizelin (French, 1821-1902) Patinated Bronze of Psyche
By Eugene-Antoine Aizelin
Located in New York, NY
This fabulous figural bronze statue of Psyche by the Barbedienne Foundry is simply exquisite. Remnants of a lovely green oxidation, nestled within the corners, curves and crevices of this contemplative Psyche statue, enhance the beauty of the overall composition by further defining the crisp modeling of the piece as a whole, highlighting delicate details such as her wavy pulled up locks and the inset ornamental details of the pillow she is perched upon. Psyche, the goddess of the soul, is a figure that embodies the eternal quest for self-discovery and the intricacies of human emotion. In ancient mythology, Psyche is renowned not only for her unmatched beauty but also for her enduring journey of love, suffering, and ultimate reunion with her divine lover, Eros. This sculpture captures her ethereal grace as well as the complexity of her tale, skillfully portraying her in a moment of contemplative serenity as she reflects upon human vulnerabilities. The goddess is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Each curve and contour of the sculpture speaks of her multifaceted story—a narrative of love's triumph over daunting trials. Psyche, thus, serves as a reminder of the soul's capacity for growth, love, and transcendence.

The Three Magi
Located in New York, NY
Provenance: Private Collection, Spain.
Known as Peruvian alabaster for its translucency and workability, Piedra de Huamanga is a highly prized material from the province of Ayacucho in Peru. In the 17th and 18th centuries, local craftsman in the town of Huamanga began to specialize in the production of small-scale, polychrome religious sculptures made from this distinctive stone. Huamanga sculptures are among the most accomplished examples of carving from the Spanish Americas, where polychrome wood sculpture was a far more common sculptural medium. These works, which were created as independent sculptures or as sculptural groups—such as our three Magi—were intended for ecclesiastical as well as domestics settings.
Our three figures likely formed part of a larger Nativity group—a New World variant of the tradition of the Neapolitan Crèche...

Dance Within, Wear Only Sky by Denny Haskew
Set of 2, Bronze with Stainless Steel,
Figures dancing in rings, gold and silver representing yin/yang, masculine/feminine, sun/moon
female: 20x18x11" ed/21 male: 22x19x12" ed/21
"Just as the ancients danced to call upon the spirits in nature,
we too can dance to find the spirits within ourselves
that have long been buried and forgotten." - Anna Halprin
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Denny Haskew currently resides in Loveland, Colorado where he is actively engaged in the art industry as a sculptor. He received his degree from the University of Utah, then served two years in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Having spent numerous years as a guide and ski instructor, Denny has learned to love the rivers and mountains of the western states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. After moving to Loveland, a hub of successful working sculptors, he wasted no time in getting monumental sculpture experience through working with renowned sculptors including Fritz White and Kent Ullberg N.A. Since 1987, Denny has created and placed dozens of monumental compositions; spanning the full spectrum of the figurative genre.
As a member of the Potawatomi Citizen Nation, it is only natural for his artwork to follow the Native American culture. His art has not been limited to Native American and southwestern subjects, however, as he frequently explores abstract forms placing emphasis on the qualities of the metal and stone used. As a Charter member of the National Sculptors' Guild and being close to other sculptors and the Loveland area
foundries has helped him to master all the foundry processes involved in producing a desirable and lasting monumental bronze sculpture.
Over 50 major public placements include the Smithsonian Institution, DC.; the Gilcrease Museum, OK; Cerritos, CA; Little Rock, AR; the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Sioux collection, MN, and the Barona Band of Mission Indians...

“Tiny Celadon Green Jacket, ” Steel Sculpture
Located in Chicago, IL
Upon discovering a weathered steel drum that had been warped to resemble the sleeve of a garment, artist Gordon Chandler was inspired to embark on a series of kimono sculptures formed from found metal scraps. With an eye to the aesthetic possibilities of this humble material, Chandler invests the reclaimed steel with sculptural fluidity and a wry sense of form.
Flattened with the center portion rolled out and the sides left open, this discarded barrel takes on the look of a miniature jacket. Coated with a mint green finish, the eroded metal appears as draped fabric, folded back to form a simple collar. The sculpture is finished with the artist's initials stamped...

Bring Figurative Sculptures into Your Home
Figurative sculptures mix reality and imagination, with the most common muse being the human body. Animals are also inspirations for these sculptures, along with forms found in nature.
While figurative sculpture dates back over 35,000 years, the term came into popularity in the 20th century to distinguish it from abstract art. It was aligned with the Expressionist movement in that many of its artists portrayed reality but in a nonnaturalistic and emotional way. In the 1940s, Alberto Giacometti — a Swiss-born artist who was interested in African art, Cubism and Surrealism — created now-iconic representational sculptures of the human figure, and after World War II, figurative sculpture as a movement continued to flourish in Europe.
Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon were some of the leading figurative artists during this period. Artists like Jeff Koons and Maurizio Cattelan propelled the evolution of figurative sculpture into the 21st century.
Figurative sculptures can be whimsical, uncanny and beautiful. Their materials range from stone and wood to metal and delicate ceramics. Even in smaller sizes, the sculptures make bold statements. A bronze sculpture by Salvador Dalí enhances a room; a statuesque bull by Jacques Owczarek depicts strength with its broad chest while its thin legs speak of fragility. Figurative sculptures allow viewers to see what is possible when life is reimagined.
