About the Item
Aluminum Edition
By applying classical techniques to his contemporary subjects, Palumbo’s textured and spirited bronzes embody the essence of each being he portrays. These whimsical and anthropomorphic sculptures engage the viewer with irony, wit, and humor. Palumbo provides an emotional connection with the animals through challenging not only barriers between worlds but between human and beast.
In addition to Palumbo’s renowned portfolio of animals, he explores shapes, objects, and humanity. From small humanoid figures balancing precariously on a skinny ledge, to a monumental sized safety pin, his works push viewers into a slightly zany world. He taps into mythology, philosophy, and idiom through pigs flying, sheep dancing, and bulls meditating. This imaginative realm lets the viewer contemplate oneself within the world we exist in.
