About the Item
Johannes Nielsen (b.1979) was born in Falkenberg, Sweden. He is an artist who uses bronze sculpture to celebrate life and its beauty. He believes that sculptures of the human body can “reveal the inner spirit and emotions as well as its external physical appearance.” He uses the idea of the material and immaterial of human existence and portrays them in his works through a lively play with positive and negative space. The figures in his sculptures lack facial expression. However, the viewers are clearly able to feel the emotions that the artist is trying to convey. Something about the lack of material and expression allows the works to linger in people’s minds. Nielsen states that his sculptures are “a combination of traditional and contemporary esthetics and methods that express” his personal vision of reality.
The artist uses his own body to 3D scan, which will be used as a base to sculpt a virtual model. The bronze and metal that he uses is casted once he has the mould. Working with metal requires a lot of attention as well as technical and mechanical troubleshooting. However it is also one of the few materials that can give the sense of organic quality, while being industrial and sturdy.
Johannes Nielsen, in 2001 enrolled in the Lund’s Art School, and moved to Dublin in 2003 to become the assistant to sculptor Patrick O’Reilly, where he honed his sculptural practice. He has participated and showcased his works in several art fairs and exhibitions in Europe, US, and Asia. His works are now a part of public and private collections all over the globe. He is based in and continues his artistic practice with his wife, daughter, and son in Beijing, China.

By Monica Piloni
Located in New York, NY
Monica Piloni was born in Curitiba in 1978 and graduated from the Paraná School of Music and Fine Arts in 2002. She lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
Looking at her work as a whole, one can see the artist's interest in the representation of the female figure, which began as a consequence of having her own body as a living model. Most of her works have a common feature in the way they are constructed: mirroring. This feature distorts the body by omitting or multiplying elements, creating another dimension in the perception of the human figure that attracts at the same time as it repels. In this way, Monica reflects on the female experience, which includes subjective procedures for adapting to characters, patterns of behavior and archetypes, fashion and cosmetics, as well as physical procedures such as mutilation and other body modifications...
