Bronze naturalistic bee hive indoor sculpture

2023

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.

Monkey Head Natural Sisal Fiber Clay Sculpture Chimpanzee Anne Andersson Art
Located in Surfside, FL
Anne Andersson Sisal fiber wall sculpture Monkey Head (# 1) Hand signed to verso Dated 2009. Measures approx. 11" height x 10" width x 6 1/4" depth. Her sculptures are made of natural sisal Fiber from an agave and meticulously hand painted. The eyes are hand blown glass. Anne Andersson was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, with a great desire to explore Nature and a Passion for Art. She received a degree in science in 1981 from Kjällbergska University in Gothenburg and a degree in Art from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. She now works from her studio in St. Petersburg, Florida as a Sculptor, illustrator and painter. Her work calls to mind the animalia artworks of Henri Maik and Gustavo Novoa. Anne Andersson's artwork serves as an homage to our planet’s charismatic and rare wild animals. Inspired by the majesty and beauty of exotic wildlife, and motivated by an urge to preserve them, Anne’s astonishingly realistic life-size sculptures capture the experience of seeing these animals up close without exploiting them. Her sculpted work using natural materials and clay, provides a humane alternative to big game trophy hunting and taxidermy. She combines her talents in painting, tapestry weaving and illustration with an intuitive attention to the smallest detail to truly bring her sculptures to life. She has created lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs, bobcats, lynxes, pumas, panthers, elephants, rhinos, bears, water buffalo, bison, moose, wolves, coyotes and more—but she feels closest to the big cats. Anne graduated with honors at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in 1989. It was then that she met Don Moore...
