The ride Nili Pincas Contemporary art sculpture terracotta pastel couple woman
Located in Paris, FR
Unique terracotta sculpture
Signed by the artist
The contemplative creatures of Nili Pincas, of an extreme refinement, invite silence.
This isolation of the sculpted being seizes and soothes, at the same time as it questions.
Are we facing the face of anguish or introspection? The white or purple flesh, with a slightly grainy matte appearance, reveals the infinite sensuality of the artist’s touch...

Girl Sitting XIV - contemporary bronze sculpture of nude female on wooden block
Located in Hamburg, DE
"Girl Sitting XIV" is a bronze sculpture of a nude sitting female on a wooden block. Edition 18, signed, numbered and dated on the bottom. The wooden block can be hung on a wall (comes with the hinges to hang up on the wall).
The sculptress Susanne Kraisser is to be considered as part of the great modern figurative tradition. She was born in 1977 in Rosenheim, Southern Germany. She studied both at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg and the University of Arts in Bremen. She graduated with distinction in 2007 in Nuremberg and received her Diploma with distinction in 2008 in Bremen. She has won numerous awards and exhibits nationally as well as internationally.
Artist Statement: For me, sculpture is particularly shape and material, volume and size, space, movement and statics.
I focus on the ‘female body’, presenting it either as an intimate miniature or on a monumental scale – each time as a solitary figure.
In terms of content, my work focuses on identifying and combining polarities, such as instability and strength, fragility and solidity, activity and passivity, movement and statics, balance and volume, and dependence and autarchy.
I work predominantly with the materials bronze, aluminium and wood. The small miniatures are made from wax and are then cast in bronze as part of what is known as the wax smelting process. Large-scale pieces are similarly cast in aluminium or created directly out of wood. The various work processes and tools determine the appearance of the surface; for wax, it’s my hands, and for wood, it’s my chainsaw.
Each material is a new challenge for me. My previous wood-sculpting studies involved respecting the material’s limits to create craft of solid quality in keeping with the material.
But this is where the intense discussion and its limit become clear. I fight with the material, and a lot of things go wrong. It becomes my opponent, whose limits I test out and reset if necessary. Cautious movements requiring a lot of physical tension are maintained without losing their inner dynamics.
Amidst the often harmonious external form is a harsh dissonance evidenced by the rough, fragmented design...

Polar Bears – Bronze by Marcel Debut (1865–1933), Art Deco Influence
Located in Gent, VOV
This rare bronze sculpture by Marcel Debut (1865–1933) presents a unique departure from his more frequently encountered mythological and allegorical themes, venturing into the realm of animalier sculpture. The piece depicts two polar bears, one resting and the other in an alert posture, rendered with a masterful blend of naturalism and expression. The textured modeling of the fur and musculature reflects Debut’s strong academic training while incorporating an impressionistic approach to surface treatment.
A notable aspect of this sculpture is its curved base, a subtle yet clear indication of Art Deco influence. Unlike traditional animalier works, which often rest on rigid, symmetrical bases, this dynamic foundation lends a sense of fluidity to the composition, reinforcing the motion and interaction between the two animals. This element suggests that the piece was created during the later period of Debut’s career, as Art Deco aesthetics—with their emphasis on stylized and elegant forms—began to shape sculptural design.
The choice of subject, polar bears, is also intriguing within the animalier tradition. While French sculptors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries frequently depicted felines, horses, and other terrestrial animals, this work stands out for its intimate, contemplative depiction of arctic wildlife. Rather than emphasizing a dramatic hunting or combat scene, Debut captures a quiet moment of interaction between the two bears, showcasing his ability to infuse emotion and realism into his subjects.
The patina of the bronze is rich and varied, enhancing the play of light on the textured surface and contributing to the lifelike quality of the sculpture. The artist’s signature “Debut” is clearly visible, further confirming its authenticity.
With its balance of academic realism, impressionistic texture, and Art Deco design principles, this bronze sculpture is a remarkable testament to Marcel Debut’s versatility as an artist. Its combination of naturalistic observation, expressive modeling, and modernist elegance makes it a rare and desirable piece within the canon of French animalier sculpture.

Pablo Picasso Visage d’homme (Man’s Head), 1968-1969 A.R. 570 showcases the artist’s unrivaled ability to illustrate human nuance. Each aspect of the man’s face, from his furrowed brow to his side gaze is carefully illustrated. The crowding of horizontal lines on his brow and vertical lines on his nose bring a sense of tension to his face, which compounds the furrowed brow.There are only two colors on the plaque, black and red, but the semi circle of hair atop the mans head...

In addition, he produced a series of medals and sculptures for the Monnaie de Paris, and various achievements such as the bust of Dr. Coll Colomé, a monument erected in Benicarlo (Spain) and publishing covers including the novel by Jean-Marc Roberts Vincent's friend.
The work of Jorge Borrás is a tribute to the woman [ref. necessary]. Her favorite themes are ballerinas and bathers as well as women in everyday attitudes. Wild animals, some endangered, are also very present in the work of Jorge Borrás, especially in recent years where he takes great pleasure in capturing the wild moment of his attitudes.

"Shadow Puppet Wayang Purwa, " Leather created in Indonesia in the 19th Century
Located in Milwaukee, WI
This flat shadow puppet was created by an unknown Indonesian artist using water buffalo hide. This shadow puppet, 17" high with movable arms, was used in Indonesian Wayang puppet shows.
Wayang (Krama Javanese: Ringgit ꦫꦶꦁꦒꦶꦠ꧀, "Shadow"), also known as Wajang, is a form of puppet theatre art found in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia, wherein a dramatic story is told through shadows thrown by puppets and sometimes combined with human characters. The art form celebrates the Indonesian culture and artistic talent; its origins are traced to the spread of Hinduism in the medieval era and the arrival of leather-based puppet arts called Tholu bommalata from southern India.
Wayang refers to the entire dramatic show. Sometimes the leather puppet...
