About the Item

Instant Moules I is a nickeled aluminium and bronze sculpture by contemporary Czech sculptor Ondřej Oliva, dimensions are 385 × 45 × 34 cm (151.6 × 17.7 × 13.4 in). This sculpture is a unique piece signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The specified dimensions include the aluminum circular base, which measures 34 cm in diameter. This base features four holes that allow it to be securely fixed to the ground or a foundation. Please note that the larger black circular base shown in the photos is not a permanent part of the sculpture. With a diameter of 80 cm and made of metal, it serves as an optional support element to enhance stability when direct floor mounting is not possible. In this aluminium sculpture, which resembles a column or totem, mollusc shells are gracefully arranged along a vertical, winding structure. A bronze element, a cluster of mussels positioned around the centre, stands out due to its distinct colouration. Ondrej Oliva, a Czech sculptor, draws inspiration for his works from both the natural and everyday objects that surround us. He often returns to familiar objects, such as foods, to produce new works that are rich in allusions and allusions. Ondej uses bronze or aluminium to give his works a long-term perspective, so the material selection is crucial.  A similar sculpture, in a smaller or larger size, can be custom-made upon request. Please reach out for further information.

Fluctuation - Large Organic Nature Inspired Modernist Abstract Sculpture
By Jacob Burmood
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This original sculpture is created in cold-cast aluminum, which interacts beautifully with its environment and reflects light in nuanced ways. Because of the reflective surface of aluminum, the sculpture takes on different appearances depending on the lighting conditions: In bright lighting, the sculpture appears more vibrant and silver-toned, showcasing its lustrous finish and fluid contours. The high contrast highlights every curve and swirl, giving it a striking, almost glowing presence. In softer or dimmer light, the tones become more muted and subtle. The sculpture takes on a pewter-like appearance, with deeper shadows and a more understated elegance. This makes it a perfect fit for a variety of settings, adapting to its surroundings and changing mood with the light. The sculpture’s color and finish are consistent; the perceived changes are purely the result of lighting. The color variations in the photos are a testament to the material’s responsiveness to light. If you’re placing it in a room with changing daylight or adjustable lighting, you’ll enjoy how it shifts throughout the day, almost like a living piece of art. Jacob Burmood creates undulating abstract cold cast aluminum sculptures, intuitively redefining aesthetic shapes and visual perceptions. His sculptures draw connections between nature-inspired, organically composed objects, rejecting the rigid structure of geometric abstraction in favor of harmonious compositions that seem to move before the eye. This original cold-cast aluminum sculpture is 26 inches tall by 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping is available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. The sculpture Burmood's artworks are inspired by modernist and bio-morphic sculpture...
