Martine Demal
The Dolmen by Martine Demal - Contemporary bronze sculpture, Semi Abstract

1995

About the Item

Bronze sculpture, , white stone plinth. 43 cm × 17 cm × 10 cm. Limited edition of 8 + 4 A.P., each signed and numbered. The indicated dimensions include the base of the sculpture, which is 10 cm H x 14 cm L x 10 cm D. The sculpture dimensions are 33 cm H x 17 cm L x 7,5 cm D. This is a very mineral looking and uncluttered sculpture, whose title is a reference to a prehistoric megalithic site. The sculpture becomes a new way of suggesting duality. The body, again the creative starting point, remains sensitively in place through a balancing game and connection between the entities. A few movements are enough for the Man and Woman to interact and for abstract to prevail over pure representation. The sculpture’s plinth - a real challenge to match with the artwork for the artist - is a moulded and cut brick. In keeping a very balanced approach, its light colour compliments the artwork’s mineral form. Photo credit: © Christian Baraja, © Martine Demal, @ ADAGP

    Larissa was born in Belogorsk, a small town in Russia and later moved to The Russian FarEast where she spent her early childhood. Her family moved to Moldova and finally settled in Dushanbe, capital of Tajikistan. At 19 Larissa went off on her own to study art in St Petersburg ( Leningrad ). ​“Larissa began sculpting in kindergarten from doughy black bread, the only material she could get her hands on. It was just after the war. Russia was still recovering from hard times. Despite the pain from hunger in her tummy, my sister would eat only the breads crust. From the doughy insides, she sculpted a dog, a cat, a tree, but mostly she sculpted the portraits of family members and they were quite recognisable. When Larissa was 12 years old, her artwork won a national competition for children. The picture depicted children of many nationalities dancing together and was chosen to be made into a national post stamp. The organisers of this competition came from Moscow and were determined to make sure that nobody had helped my sister. They couldn’t believe that little girl can draw like that” -Yakov Smagarinsky (brother) ​At 14 Larissa went to the Art College to study painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, perspective, geometry and literature in Dushanbe Art College where she obtained her diploma. Later she continued her education in St Petersburg where she received a Master Degree in architectural, decorative and monumental sculpture. Her first commissioned sculptures were carved oak based on Russian folklore...
