About the Item

Alberto Piccini is an Italian artist from Seravezza in Tuscany. His work primarily comprises of bronze and marble sculptures, which have simultaneously an appeal of bold modernity and timeless, classic lyricism. He has lived in various places throughout Italy, spending most of his time between Milan, Pietrasanta and Carrera. He studied sculpture at the Accademia d’Arte in Florence and has held solo and collective exhibitions throughout Europe and also in the United States and East Asia. Piccini casts his sculptures in his own foundry in Pietrasanta, and maintains constant contact with them throughout the process of creation. He consecrates all of his time and attention to them, nurtures them, and consequently, the result of this process is an ineffable impression of intimacy. His works have fullness and a tactile quality to them, thus embodying to a very high degree the true physicality of this medium, which works in conjunction with the ever-present push and pull that art has with physical reality. His sculptures are classically expressive, and therefore very versatile in the field of contemporary art, seeing as they are amenable enough to be commercially desirable, but also have the undeniable marks of artistry and technical mastery, which makes them true works of art.

Harriet
Located in PARIS, FR
Born december 19 1958, De Keyzer studied at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten, Eeklo, lead by professional sculptor Leo De Buysere. In a time and environment where creativity was considered disturbing, rather than being a merit, the young Dirk De Keyzer found it hard to decide in which direction to head with his life. Like so many boys of his age, he was sent out to learn a craft, destined to go to work in a factory. Other horizons would call though, and that's how he ended up in the Royal academy of Eeklo. It was there that he discovered his predilection for bronze. It became more and more obvious that bronze would be the only medium for Dirk to give expression to his inner most thoughts and artwork. Fascinated by great sculptors like George Minne...

Bronze Sculpture “Surrender 8”
By Frank Arnold
Located in Fresno, CA
Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer. Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries, museums, and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
