By Dominik Albinski
Located in Surfside, FL
Signed bronze from small edition of 8. plus 4 artists proofs
Dominik Albiński
(born 1975, South Africa)
Dominic Albinski, was born in South Africa, in 1975. He started sculpting, at
a young age, at the Art Classes of Mercia Desmond, in Johannesburg. From the
start, his talent for capturing movement, and character in his human, and animal
figures was remarkable. Dominic had a happy childhood, spending his time in the
studio, where he studied art and anatomy, which was later to become one of the
major themes of his sculptures. He also spent a lot of time on the South African
coast; Durban, North Coast and Cape, Plettenburg Bay and in the bush Kruger
Park, Okovango Swamps, Chobe and Pilansberg game reserves. He was a good
student, but preferred sculpting in his studio, among his artworks, than studying.
After finishing High School (St John’s College), he left for Paris, to start a life
of independence, in the French capital, famous for artists like Rodin, Bugatti,
Carpeaux, Daumier, Giacometti, and Picasso, who inspired him. He was excepted
into the prestigious Institute of Political Science. However, his passion for
sculpture, made him choose sculpture as a career.
He started studying sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, and
with the British Sculptor, James Butler in England. Here, he learnt observation and
techniques that would stand him in good stead later, when he came back to
France, as a Professor of Communication at the renowned Ecole Francaise
D’Attache de Presse near the Champs Elysees. He had his first major exhibition at
the Arnaud Gallery in Verneuil sur Avre in Normandy. A collector, found interest
in his work, and created a vast collection of his bronzes, as well as promoting
Dominic in various galleries in the region of Normandy, and Touraine, such as
Galerie 21 and Club de Arche de Noe, in Tours and Galerie des Remparts, and
Eclat de Verre, in Le Mans. He also exhibited in La Rochelle in the Galerie Hourdin,
and Bordeaux at the Galerie des Remparts. During this period he studied
Literature at the Sorbonne.
In Paris, several galleries took Dominic’s work, including Galerie Arcima, on
Rue St Jaques, Galerie Herouet, in the Marais, Galerie Etienne de Causans on rue
de Seine, or Galerie Mouvances, on Place des Vosges. Dominic participated in a
wildlife exhibition in Trocadero Center, and at the Hotel de Ville of Puteux. His
sculpture Madness, was chosen to be exhibited as a finalist at the Brain-Up
competition, in the Palais de Congres. This impressive sculpture, measuring 1m 60
is in the collection of the Hospital in Lille, and the Mandela Collection in Sandton
South Africa, among other collections.
In Poland, he had an exhibition in the Canadian Embassy Residence, in the
South African Embassy, and in the French Embassy. His work “Man with Pipe” is in
the collection of the Canadian Ambassador. His work “Portrait of Agnes” was
acquired by the South African Ambassador who, opened Dominic’s exhibition in
the Jagellonian University in Krakow, Holiday Inn, and in Galeria Mokotow, in
Warsaw. He had an exhibiton in the Warsaw Financial Center on Emili Platter
Street, and in the Sculpture Gallery on Jana Pawla street. Later, he exhibited in
the Gallery of the Polish War Museum on Krakowskie Przedmiescie, on Nowy
Swiat 44, in the Center of Promotion of Culture, Mazowieckie Center of Culture
and in the Jan Nowak Jezorianski Center. His work was showcased in the
Napiorkowska Gallery, Zapiecek Gallery on the square of the Old Town in Warsaw,
Hunters Gallery, and Warsaw Art Gallery in the Marriot Hotel, and sold on various
Auctions, such as Rempex, Agra Art, and Polswiss.
Back in South Africa, Dominic had much success among his native art
galleries, having his first major exhibition at the Mandela Square Gallery, in
Sandton. Art Galleries, hearing of his exhibitions in France, took his work, such as
the Cherie de Villiers Gallery, in the Mall, in Rosebank, and the Van den Berg
Gallery, in Potchefstroom. Dominic also took his work to the USA, where he
exhibited at the Modern Show in New York, and at the Dauphin Descours Gallery
on Madison Avenue, and the Yew Tree House Antiques Gallery in New York, as
well as the Geary Gallery, in Darion, and the Lions Gallery...

Bronze Wall Hanging Sculpture, Verdigris Patina
By Ilana Goor
Located in Surfside, FL
Ilana Goor is an individualistic, autodidactic, intuitive and multifaceted artist. As an artist who knows no boundaries and whose art transcends any conventions, her creations are a blend of vitality and obsession, functional simplicity alongside expressive complexity bordering on surrealism. Her sources of inspiration are neither time nor place-dependent. They create a personal statement, a journey replete with meaning and they succeed in touching and moving people the world over.
Goor was born in Tiberias to an educated and distinguished family of highly respected doctors and artists. She never studied art or design in any formal setting. She developed her artistic techniques on her own from an early age, when she used various parts to create small statues. She is considered to be an international multidisciplinary artist. Her works encompass sculptures, furniture, judaica, lighting fixtures, jewelry and fashion items which are displayed in well known galleries worldwide and are distinguished by their powerful, dominant presence.
She first came to the United States in her 20s and captured the hearts of the locals with her large-buckle belts for men which paved her artistic path in North America. Since then Ilana Goor was requested to install statues in major public locations and exhibited her works in museums throughout Europe, America, Japan and Israel. Ilana Goor designed jewelry, buckles and sold belts to most major department stores in America including I Magnin, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Saks Fifth Ave. and in Japan.
In 1986 Ilana Goor introduced a collection of iron furniture and accessories to the American marketplace as limited editions signed by the artist.
She was awarded the Roscoe award for Best Design in residential seating in 1988.
Her works are presently displayed in sixteen decorator and designer showrooms throughout the United States. Her iron furniture collection was displayed in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem in1987 and in 1993 Ilana Goor introduced her collection of furniture in Japan...
