Dominik Albiński
(born 1975, South Africa)
Dominic Albinski, was born in South Africa, in 1975. He started sculpting, at
a young age, at the Art Classes of Mercia Desmond, in Johannesburg. From the
start, his talent for capturing movement, and character in his human, and animal
figures was remarkable. Dominic had a happy childhood, spending his time in the
studio, where he studied art and anatomy, which was later to become one of the
major themes of his sculptures. He also spent a lot of time on the South African
coast; Durban, North Coast and Cape, Plettenburg Bay and in the bush Kruger
Park, Okovango Swamps, Chobe and Pilansberg game reserves. He was a good
student, but preferred sculpting in his studio, among his artworks, than studying.
After finishing High School (St John’s College), he left for Paris, to start a life
of independence, in the French capital, famous for artists like Rodin, Bugatti,
Carpeaux, Daumier, Giacometti, and Picasso, who inspired him. He was excepted
into the prestigious Institute of Political Science. However, his passion for
sculpture, made him choose sculpture as a career.
He started studying sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, and
with the British Sculptor, James Butler in England. Here, he learnt observation and
techniques that would stand him in good stead later, when he came back to
France, as a Professor of Communication at the renowned Ecole Francaise
D’Attache de Presse near the Champs Elysees. He had his first major exhibition at
the Arnaud Gallery in Verneuil sur Avre in Normandy. A collector, found interest
in his work, and created a vast collection of his bronzes, as well as promoting
Dominic in various galleries in the region of Normandy, and Touraine, such as
Galerie 21 and Club de Arche de Noe, in Tours and Galerie des Remparts, and
Eclat de Verre, in Le Mans. He also exhibited in La Rochelle in the Galerie Hourdin,
and Bordeaux at the Galerie des Remparts. During this period he studied
Literature at the Sorbonne.
In Paris, several galleries took Dominic’s work, including Galerie Arcima, on
Rue St Jaques, Galerie Herouet, in the Marais, Galerie Etienne de Causans on rue
de Seine, or Galerie Mouvances, on Place des Vosges. Dominic participated in a
wildlife exhibition in Trocadero Center, and at the Hotel de Ville of Puteux. His
sculpture Madness, was chosen to be exhibited as a finalist at the Brain-Up
competition, in the Palais de Congres. This impressive sculpture, measuring 1m 60
is in the collection of the Hospital in Lille, and the Mandela Collection in Sandton
South Africa, among other collections.
In Poland, he had an exhibition in the Canadian Embassy Residence, in the
South African Embassy, and in the French Embassy. His work “Man with Pipe” is in
the collection of the Canadian Ambassador. His work “Portrait of Agnes” was
acquired by the South African Ambassador who, opened Dominic’s exhibition in
the Jagellonian University in Krakow, Holiday Inn, and in Galeria Mokotow, in
Warsaw. He had an exhibiton in the Warsaw Financial Center on Emili Platter
Street, and in the Sculpture Gallery on Jana Pawla street. Later, he exhibited in
the Gallery of the Polish War Museum on Krakowskie Przedmiescie, on Nowy
Swiat 44, in the Center of Promotion of Culture, Mazowieckie Center of Culture
and in the Jan Nowak Jezorianski Center. His work was showcased in the
Napiorkowska Gallery, Zapiecek Gallery on the square of the Old Town in Warsaw,
Hunters Gallery, and Warsaw Art Gallery in the Marriot Hotel, and sold on various
Auctions, such as Rempex, Agra Art, and Polswiss.
Back in South Africa, Dominic had much success among his native art
galleries, having his first major exhibition at the Mandela Square Gallery, in
Sandton. Art Galleries, hearing of his exhibitions in France, took his work, such as
the Cherie de Villiers Gallery, in the Mall, in Rosebank, and the Van den Berg
Gallery, in Potchefstroom. Dominic also took his work to the USA, where he
exhibited at the Modern Show in New York, and at the Dauphin Descours Gallery
on Madison Avenue, and the Yew Tree House Antiques Gallery in New York, as
well as the Geary Gallery, in Darion, and the Lions Gallery...

'Sunbathing' original stone Shona sculpture by Washington Msonza
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Sunbathing' is an original stone sculpture by the Zimbabwean artist Washington Msonza. In the sculpture, a woman reclines nude and on the ground in a moment of relaxation under the sun. She holds a child on her lap and he two gaze at one another in a moment of bonding and adoration. This intimate composition reminds, on one hand, of the great painting 'Olympia' by the relist painter Édouard Manet by nature of the nude woman in repose. On the other, it also recalls the subject matter of the Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt, whose work often focused on domestic scenes of mothers and their children. All of these art historical references are nonetheless contained within the materiality of the serpentine stone itself, in which Msonza uses the polish and texture of the stone to capture skin and hair and the subtly of the figures' expressions.

Washington Msonza was born in 1966 in Domboshava where he attended primary school. He then moved to Chitungwiza to attend secondary schooling. While in school, he spent most of his time watching his sculptor brother-in-law Albert Mamvura, whose workshop was close to his house. In 1988 Msonza began assisting Albert full time, while simultaneously gaining experience by watching other well known artists in the area including Gedion Nyanhongo...

'Relaxing Woman' original Shona stone sculpture signed by Colleen Madamombe
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Relaxing Woman' is an original black serpentine sculpture by the celebrated second generation Shona artist Colleen Madamombe. The sculpture presents a character common to Madamombe's work: a woman with a round face and wearing a billowing, layered dress. She holds her hands on her knees as she sits recumbent on the ground. As is so desired of her work, this sculpture is a play in texture: her face and hands are polished and smooth, which is juxtaposed with the rough-hewn surfaces of the clothing and hair.

"Protected Spirits, " a Carved Opal signed by Picket Mazhindu Bumhira
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Protected Spirits" is a sculpture carved from Opal stone signed Picket, who is part of the Shona tribe in Zimbabwe. It depicts two abstracted figures, presumably spirits, seeming to float upwards.
38 1/2" x 13 1/2" x 7 1/4"
Picket Mazhindu Bumhira was born 1968 in the Seke communal lands about 5 km. from Harare, Zimbabwe. Picket had a passion for art from childhood and during his school days he loved drawing and painting. He was very inspired by sculpture of the late John Takawira, one of Zimbabwe's first generation of Shona sculptors, whom he met when Picket went to Chapungu. They then agreed to work together. Later he started to sculpt on his own. Some of his works made the headlines in the newspapers, including "Spirit of Love," which was exhibited in Victoria Falls during Arts Gala. He exhibited in the UK and in Germany. He was among the sculptors who went to China for an exhibition at the Poverty Reduction Summit. Picket likes working on springstone and opal and especially enjoys making abstracts.
Shona artists and crafts people have been working in different media for generations. These include paintings, pottery, basket ware, wood carvings, and sculpture done in metal as well as the stone carvings. While there is not a long standing tradition of sculpture in what is now Zimbabwe (formerly Southern Rhodesia), stone carvings dating from the 15th century were seen in Great Zimbabwe, an excavated temple near Bulawayo. Most of the artifacts from this location have been moved to museums in Cape Town, South Africa or London.
It is generally agreed that Zimbabwean stone sculpture...

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Denny Haskew currently resides in Loveland, Colorado where he is actively engaged in the art industry as a sculptor. He received his degree from the University of Utah, then served two years in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Having spent numerous years as a guide and ski instructor, Denny has learned to love the rivers and mountains of the western states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. After moving to Loveland, a hub of successful working sculptors, he wasted no time in getting monumental sculpture experience through working with renowned sculptors including Fritz White and Kent Ullberg N.A. Since 1987, Denny has created and placed dozens of monumental compositions; spanning the full spectrum of the figurative genre.
As a member of the Potawatomi Citizen Nation, it is only natural for his artwork to follow the Native American culture. His art has not been limited to Native American and southwestern subjects, however, as he frequently explores abstract forms placing emphasis on the qualities of the metal and stone used. As a Charter member of the National Sculptors' Guild and being close to other sculptors and the Loveland area
foundries has helped him to master all the foundry processes involved in producing a desirable and lasting monumental bronze sculpture.

'Family' original signed Shona stone sculpture by Wonder Mazhindu Bumhira
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Family' is an original stone sculpture signed by Zimbabwean artist Wonder Mazhindu Bumhira. The composition is an example of the family groupings, with each figure arranged as though they were a flower in a bouquet, that are so desired from Shona sculptors. Though the figures are ambiguous and stylized, the figures are arranged using a hierarchy of scale: the matriarch (perhaps a grandmother) towers over the other members of her family, with her children and grandchildren below. Thusly, sculptures like this present a vision of family structure and unity.

Pollen Keeper II (maquette)
Powder-coated metal, 2008
Hand signed, titled, dated and numbered 2/30, attributed, titled, dated and numbered again to paper label
Mounted to a white composition plinth
Provenance: The Freund Family Collection
Melanie Yazzie is a Navajo sculptor, painter, printmaker, and professor. She teaches at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Yazzie was born in 1966 in Ganado, Arizona, United States. She is Navajo of the Áshįįhí, born for Tó Dichʼíinii. She grew up on the Navajo Nation. Although she grew up on the Navajo Nation, Melanie Yazzie is of the Salt Water Clan born for the Bitter Water Clan. She first studied art at the Westtown School in Pennsylvania. Yazzie earned a BA in Studio Art with a minor in Spanish from Arizona State University in 1990 and an MFA in printmaking from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1993.
Melanie Yazzie works a wide range of media that include printmaking, painting, sculpting, and ceramics, as well as installation art. Her art is accessible to the public on many levels and the main focus is on connecting with people and educating people about the contemporary status of one indigenous woman and hoping that people can learn from her experience. Her subject matter is significant because the serious undertones reference native postcolonial dilemmas. Melanie's work focuses primarily on themes of indigenous people. Her work often brings images of women from many indigenous cultures to the forefront. Thus her work references matrilineal systems and points to the possibility of female leadership. Yazzie is known for her multilayered monotype prints that focus on storytelling and reflect her dreamtime friends and companions. The works are filled with colors and textures that reflect different world. The works are made with stencils and often she is printing with soy based inks called Akua inks that are safe for the artist and the environment. The works most often are printed on Arches 88 due to the absorbing quality of that 100% rag paper. It is a fine art paper made in France and very soft to the touch. It is a paper designed originally for screen printing but is the perfect surface for many of the works Yazzie creates. The works often are monotypes as opposed to monoprints. So the works are a one of a kind work of art and not made in multiples.
She is a Professor and Head of Printmaking at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She teaches printmaking courses and travels extensively to indigenous communities within the United States and abroad. She can always be found through the University of Colorado Art and Art History Department. In addition to teaching at the Institute of American Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe (now Santa Fe University of Art and Design), Boise State University, and the University of Arizona, Yazzie has taught at the Pont Aven School of Contemporary Art in France.
Yazzie has led over 100 international print exchanges over a 20-year time period. Many of these exchanges include artists from Siberia, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Germany.
In 2012, the Denver Art Museum welcomed Yazzie as artist-in-residence, making her the first in the Native Arts department.
A selection of major exhibitions from the 1990s to present include "Between Two Worlds" (2008) at Arizona State University, "Traveling" at the Heard West Museum (2006), "About Face: Self-Portraits by Native American, First Nations, and Inuit Artists" at the Wheelwright Museum (2005), "Making Connections" (2002) in Bulova, Russia, "Navajo in Gisborne" (1999) in Gisborne, New Zealand and "Watchful Eyes" (1994) at the Heard Museum.
In September 2013 she co-curated the exhibition "Heart Lines: Expressions of Native North American Art" in Colorado University Art Museum, partially based on her private collection and including her work "Pollen Girl". Artists featured: Norman Akers, Maile Andrade, Kenojuak Ashevak, Pitseolak Ashoona, Corwin Clairmont, Jimmie Durham...

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Denny Haskew currently resides in Loveland, Colorado where he is actively engaged in the art industry as a sculptor. He received his degree from the University of Utah, then served two years in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Having spent numerous years as a guide and ski instructor, Denny has learned to love the rivers and mountains of the western states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. After moving to Loveland, a hub of successful working sculptors, he wasted no time in getting monumental sculpture experience through working with renowned sculptors including Fritz White and Kent Ullberg N.A. Since 1987, Denny has created and placed dozens of monumental compositions; spanning the full spectrum of the figurative genre.
As a member of the Potawatomi Citizen Nation, it is only natural for his artwork to follow the Native American culture. His art has not been limited to Native American and southwestern subjects, however, as he frequently explores abstract forms placing emphasis on the qualities of the metal and stone used. As a Charter member of the National Sculptors' Guild and being close to other sculptors and the Loveland area
foundries has helped him to master all the foundry processes involved in producing a desirable and lasting monumental bronze sculpture.
Over 50 major public placements include the Smithsonian Institution, DC.; the Gilcrease Museum, OK; Cerritos, CA; Little Rock, AR; the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Sioux collection, MN, and the Barona Band of Mission Indians...
