Isabelle Thiltgès
La Tempête - Contemporary Bronze Figurative Sculpture, Sculpture For Interiors

2004

About the Item

n The Tempest, the late Belgian sculptor Isabelle Thiltgès distills chaos into elegance, sculpting a storm that feels both timeless and eerily still. Cast in bronze, the work unfurls like a Baroque painting in three dimensions—its billowing, wind-lashed forms recall the emotional force of a Turner seascape or the theatrical folds of Bernini’s drapery. At one edge, a solitary robed figure emerges from the sculptural surge, evoking both vulnerability and resolve. The interplay between organic movement and the human presence is central to Thiltgès’ visual language: like Giacometti’s figures caught in existential suspension, this lone silhouette holds its ground within the tempest. With its dramatic energy and lyrical abstraction, The Tempest stands as a powerful meditation on inner strength, making it a statement piece for collectors of symbolic and emotionally resonant sculpture. Cast on demand, from a limited edition. *This is sculpture number 4 of an edition of 8

Canopo - Anthropomorphic Bronze Sculpture, Etruscan, Archaic, Monumental
By Angelo Canevari
Located in New York, NY
This bronze anthropomorphic sculpture is part of the "Canopo" series. With a modern interpretation, Canevari revisited the sacred vases of the ancient Etruscan civilization from the regions of Tuscany and Umbria in Italy. The Etruscans were a polytheistic civilization that believed that all visible phenomena were a manifestation of divine power. Canevari interprets the theme's secrecy and mysteriousness in this monumental yet intimate piece. The curved anthropomorphic and totemic shape of the sculpture opens into a magical inside, hiding more secrets and sacred objects. The two sides open like embracing arms, revealing a star-shaped medallion and a glass pendulum. The use of rings and solid bronze blocks hanging and protruding from the surface creates a theatrical play of light and shadows. Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century. He has been commissioned several works by the Vatican, including the Bronze Doors of the Cathedral of Belluno and the Vatican Coins...

Don Quixote - Resin and Metal Blue Sculpture of Horseman
By Angelo Canevari
Located in New York, NY
Angelo Canevari’s Don Quixote is a 38 x 44 inch mix media sculpture. It is made of metal, resin, blue automotive paint, and cardboard. Angelo Canevari's work is often inspired by classical themes and myths. In this sculpture, he revisited with a modern interpretation the famous character of Don Quixote of La Mancha, in the Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Almost Baroque in it's curvilinear shape rendered by the interlacing blue lines, the horseman and the horse emanates a superb emotional tension that culminates in the horse's red eye and the horseman's red head. This sculpture is part of a very limited number of works that the artist created at the end of his life. It has been featured in a book written by renowned writer Andrea Camilleri. Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor who comes from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century. He has been commissioned several works by the Vatican including the Bronze Doors of the Cathedral of Belluno and the Vatican Coins.
