Philip Simmons
Contemporary Wall Sculpture "Prize Bull"

About the Item

37" x 26" x 4", resin, vinyl This wall hanging sculpture depicts three cowboys standing with a prize bull. The surface is cast in a deep midnight blue and black resin, with a wood grain vinyl edge which follows the contour of the figures. Philip Simmons' sculptures reference pop sources and the news media to comment on American culture. One of the themes that unifies this work is a nostalgia for a mythic golden age in American society that was created on television and in the movies. In this media landscape, cowboys and astronauts occupy the same cultural space. These pieces start with an iconic image Simmons sources from popular culture and transforms into line contour layout compositions. The fields of intense color are created with a cast resin, giving a reflective, gloss surface while the finely articulated lines of the figures defined in metal.
