About the Item

Jonathan Seliger makes meticulous reproductions/ interpretations of mass produced objects and containers for everyday consumables. Here, having departed from his signature painted canvas constructions to explore aluminum, bronze and stainless steel fabrications which are sprayed with automotive enamels, he takes the once popular slogan “Super Size It” to the extreme presenting larger-than-life versions of a milk carton and a Hermes bag, both measuring well over eight feet tall, and an unfolded wall-mounted Chinese take-out container. Seliger roots his visual vocabulary in contemporary and 20th Century art historical precedents; combining ideas about scale, seriality, and fabrication, prevalent in minimalism, together with the content of pop art, and an attention to detail and surface quality on par with west coast finish fetish practitioners. His use of language, the naming of artworks and show titles for example, adds still other dimensions to the work, an element of humor or social critique.

  • 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.
