About the Item
This pair of male and female brass masks are emblematic of Hagenauer’s highly stylized Art Deco design. The artist’s reductionist approach together with a nod to African tribal shields create an expressive yet reserved style. The mirroring of the objects works flawlessly as the female mask’s eye wanders over to her male counterpart in a flirtatious act. Haganauer experimented a lot with reliefs instead of full volume and these are some of his strongest works.
These are meant to hang on the wall. Delightful presence and expression. Famous family of craftsman in Europe - great history!

"Fateful Flowers №2" Sculpture 17.5" x 12 "x 13" inch Ed. 1/1 by Sergii Shaulis

Man. From the Fateful Flowers series:
"I believe that flowers are like people. Flowers come in different colors, shapes, and sizes. Some extremely rare and some very common. They are all beautiful in their own unique way..."
The goal of this project is to reflect the duality of the world.
The artist tries to show the fine line between the terrible and the beautiful. The work is a result of observing the lives of people whose destinies were changed by chance.
This is the story of an explosion preceded by another explosion until the situation becomes understood later. It is about the opportunity to see the beautiful and vice versa. Illusory freedom that you define for yourself, constrained by those restrictions. A person can never be 100 % sure about his life as the red roses can change their delicate velvet petals to the cold metal shine at one point.
A flower is a metaphor for human growth and development.
Freedom depends on the size of the pot, the boundaries of which are determined by the individual.
Nowadays, when the whole planet is isolated due to the pandemic, we want to be free more than ever. In the modern world, thus, binding to a position (rooting) becomes obsolete.
