About the Item

The title translates as "Ferryman of Souls". Cyrille André's new sculpture shows a young man or boy riding a black panther and both are in full trust and ease with each other. The image came from a mythological inspiration. The figure is cast in white bronze (an alloy which also has a majority of copper, but is silvery in appearance and very strong) and the panther is cast in silicon bronze with a black patina. Cyrille André has made a large version of this work with the panther in wood, which he plans to cast in bronze. Please contact the gallery for details and images. Cyrille André was born in Lyons, France, and received his DNSEP (Diplome National Supérieur d'Expression Plastique) from the Ecole d’Art de Grenoble in 1997. André began studying painting and drawing, but soon discovered his desire to sculpt - to be physically involved with the materials. After graduating, he taught art for ten years while developing his sculpture practice. In 2007, brisk sales both nationally and internationally allowed him to devote himself to art-making full time. André’s work is now in many European and American collections, both private and public. Although his early work was executed in roughly carved wood, André is best known for his large-scale figures in slick black or white polyester resin with blank facial expression that tower as high as 15 feet. Often inspired by current events, André’s main preoccupation is with humanity - our origins and social interactions, but also our interconnections with animals.

Reclining Figure with Bird bronze pedestal sculpture
By John Denning
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
Commissioned to create a life-sized reclining figure, John Denning made two maquettes during a stay in a medieval hamlet in France. This is the cast of one of these wax maquettes, finished in a dark bronze patina. Smooth surfaces contrast with highly textured areas, as the figure seems to emerge from a block heavily worked with drips and carvings. As if a ruin herself, the figure’s arm and leg seem partially eroded away, while a bird lighted...
