About the Item

The elegant and significant sculpture is made of bronze. The artist has been working for over twenty years on the world of bees (and in general on those species of animals that need to be in a community to live and reproduce), to which she succeeds in giving elegant forms of profound naturalistic significance. She regularly exhibits in highly prestigious venues because of her ability to develop very large sculptures. At the same time, she is much loved by private collectors for the refinement with which she can express herself. The eclectic and long-lived career of Jessica Carroll, an Italian-American artist, is expressed above all through sculpture. The sculptor, a Piedmontese by adoption, has mastered many materials. She knows how to give substance to the most fascinating and curious natural stories. Since childhood, she has explored the great parks of the United States with her father. Where Jessica learned to observe and assimilate nature and those who live in it, with all her senses alert. Curious reader, she develops with spectacular installations some of the natural events still imbued with mystery, such as the moving herds, flocks, fish, and swarms around the globe to reproduce, feed, and die. She uses an avant-garde language, led by an innate elegance with which he knows how to tell original stories. Her installations combine the vision of the contemporary artist, who knows how to benefit from modern and unconventional materials, with an equally new outlook; at the same time, they are the result of long observations in nature and in-depth research, which generate knowledge that makes it possible to synthesise complex concepts, movements of immense masses, episodes that would otherwise be represented in circumscribed spaces. For this reason, the study of bees and their indispensable and articulated structure have been at the centre of her art since her early days. Over the years, she has broadened her interests to include herds of bees that move hundreds of kilometres across the prairies. Eels travel around the Sargasso Sea every year to reproduce, in some cases travelling around the world, and flocks of bees cross our skies in search of food, climate and ideal nourishment, covering unimaginable distances. Jessica Carroll has a gift for shaping nature's great mysteries.

Grave stone naturalistic cross wrought iron outdoor sculpture, gold bee
By Ivan Zanoni
Located in Milan, IT
Calvary naturalistic tree. Unique piece, not replicable. Hand-forged in wrought iron by the outstanding Italian sculptor Ivan Zanoni. This sculpture in the form of a Cross is animated by natural elements and insects and is one of the most striking examples of the liveliness and singularity with which Ivan Zanoni knows how to forge iron and mould it according to his own sensitivity. The Cross was the sculptural work chosen to welcome visitors to the 2024 solo exhibition that the prestigious Mart Museum in Rovereto - one of Italy's leading institutions for contemporary art - has dedicated to him. Renowned for his wrought iron creations, Ivan Zanoni is internationally recognised as one of today's most significant iron sculptors. His mastery of the medium lends an organic vitality to the metal, particularly in his evocative depictions of plants and animals. Born and living in Caldes (Trentino, Italy), Zanoni inherited his passion and skill from his father, Luciano Zanoni. A revered craftsman, Zanoni created a four-metre monumental olive tree sculpture...

Bronze Sculpture EXCLOS
By Guillaume Roche
Located in Pasadena, CA
Guillaume ROCHE The artist translates movement and energy through the dynamism of assemblages and seeks the balance of composition. His sculptures offer aerial movements, round shapes with powerful lines, delicate and sensual cuts. The contextualization of his works, inscribing the approach of Guillaume Roche in the field of architecture: work of structure, lines, matter and skin, study of a volume and its proportions according to context and environment. His work is conceived to be connected with the territory. The EXCLOS series is born from the encounter of the concepts of EXPLOSION and ECLOSION. The artist conceives these imposing spheres of steel as a powerful breath contained by a gentle force that channels and envelops this primary energy. Working with stainless steel, Guillaume seeks contrast through concepts such as full-void, light-weight, balance-fall. In contrast, he finds total freedom of creation...
