He left an indelible mark on the world of contemporary sculpture, especially through his complex and innovative works. Berrocal studied at the School of Fine Arts in Malaga and the School of Fine Arts in Paris, where he was influenced by artists such as Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. His work stood out for its unique approach to sculpture, combining traditional art with modern technology. He is best known for his modular sculptures in bronze, aluminum, and resin, which could be disassembled into numerous pieces, encouraging viewers to actively engage in their understanding and appreciation. Berrocal created iconic pieces such as "La Minotaura" (1964) and "La Comédie Humaine" (1967), which were exhibited worldwide and received critical acclaim. His passion for geometry, mechanics, and enigma is reflected in his work, challenging the boundaries of traditional sculpture. Apart from his sculptures, Miguel Ortiz Berrocal was also a musician, composer, and writer. He collaborated with artists like Joan Baez and published works on art and philosophy. Throughout his life, Berrocal received numerous awards and accolades for his contribution to contemporary art, and his work continues to influence many artists and collectors worldwide. His ability to merge technical precision with artistic creativity made him a prominent figure in the 20th-century art scene, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the world of sculpture and contemporary art.

Fiber Wall Sculpture: 'Halo'
By Federica Patera and Andrea Sbra Pereg
Located in New York, NY
Federica Patera and Andrea Sbra Perego, namely tying literature and art with a thread.
Their collaboration combines the experiences of both in a common work, with the intention of being a bridge, a confluence of the two disciplines.
The duo was officially born in 2017 with the RAR project, which focuses on the value of the analogy in literature. At the heart of their investigation is the dynamic that leads reading to become writing, and other way the user to become a creator, a maker, mixing roles.
The exchange that is established guarantees the transmission, that it goes beyond repetition and finds its completion in transformation. The eternity of an experience, whatever it is (physical, material, emotional, intellectual), is measured by its capacity to be an eternal breeding ground for discovery and knowledge.
Their work was exhibited in solo shows by art galleries, such as Raffaella De Chirico Contemporary Art in Turin and Manuel Zoia Gallery in Milan, and in Art Fair such as ArtVerona and WOP in Lugano (CH). In 2021, they were finalists in the Cramum Award. Between October 2022 and January 2023, they took part in the World Textile Biennale – Italian Act, a series of three exhibitions curated by Barbara Pavan. In January 2023 they attended their first group show in New York at the Ivy Brown...

'Dancer Standing Resting en Barre' Contemporary Figurative Bronze of a ballerina
By Benson Landes
Located in Shrewsbury, Shropshire
'Dancer Standing Resting en Barre' by Benson Landes is a stunning 21st Century Solid Bronze Nude Figurative Ballet Dancer.
For Benson Landes, sculpture was most definitely a passion. His oeuvre of cast bronzes is populated with ‘off duty’ ballet dancers, rather wistful women, often caught in moments of solitary repose. Such an obvious appreciation of the grace and elegance of the female form was, no doubt, heightened by 25 years spent in the couture business, which Benson entered at the age of 14. The sculptor admitted that his time as an apprentice at his father’s clothing workroom and factory was given rather reluctantly, as he always harbored desires to become an artist. The young boy’s sense of responsibility was clearly equal to his creativity, though, as Benson knuckled down...

'Heron' Contemporary Bronze Bird. Wildlife & Nature Sculpture, Blue & White
By Richard Smith b.1955
Located in Shrewsbury, Shropshire
'Heron' is a stunningly elegant Bronze sculpture. Richard Smith conveys so much character in such simple lines, exemplifying a truly wonderful talent. The fantastic richly detailed textured Patina really adds to the depth of the work.
Richard Smith works as a part-time sculptor and a part-time gamekeeper on an estate in Hertfordshire, England. On seeing his sculptures the viewer cannot deny Smith's knowledge and love of the animals he creates. Each piece he creates he pays homage to nature and wildlife.
Richard J. Smith was born in Luton, Bedfordshire, UK in 1955. He studied illustration at Luton School of Art to a high standard and graduated with a diploma in Technical & Scientific Illustration. He was soon offered a job as a medical artist at the John Radcliffe teaching hospital in Oxford. In 1978 he was painting for galleries as a full time artist with his depictions of wildlife. He has gained an international reputation for his work and is best known for his superb paintings of fish and water. He has exhibited at prestigious galleries such as the Tryon Gallery and W. H. Patersons in London, The Sportsman's Edge Gallery in New York, The Call of Africa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and the Everard Reed Gallery in Johannesburg, South Africa. Richard has exhibited his paintings at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum in the USA and the Natural History Museum and Tring Museum in Britain. He has sold at all the major auctions houses in London, such as Christie's, Sotheby's, Bonhams and Phillips. In the latter part of 2007, Richard was commissioned to produce several fish paintings, for the Sultan of Oman. Callaghan Fine Paintings has commissioned a series of fantastic animal pieces. Including life size bronze birds; the elusive Snipe sitting atop a fence post; and the beautiful Little Blue penguin, a native of New Zealand. His works are all studied from life whilst either out in the field or in a museum with taxidermy. With incredible attention to detail Richard has breathed fresh air into this medium.

Edition of 99 exemplars.
