Tal Nehoray
Oxymoron - figurative sculpture

2023

About the Item

This standing kinetic sculpture by Tal Nehoray is from her latest body of works and is made of 2 hand made sculptures: a heart and a brain that are mounted on metal base. Both sculptures are made of ceramic and plaster and are hand painted with acrylic. "Oxymoron" talks about the constant struggle between the heart and the brain. The brain is steady and logical whereas the heart is subject to our feelings and is more flexible. Our lives are the tension between these opposites. "Ox-y-mo-ron" - a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.

Roxana (red) - figurative sculpture
By Yael Yanay
Located in New York, NY
About I+ Series: “No matter who you are, no matter how you look, what your racial, religious, or national background might be, we are all born equal. We should strive to achieve unity and acceptance. It is a daily reminder to me when I create ceramic sculpture that everyone deserves a fair and accepting existence and that everyone can make choices that will lead to a better life. A ceramic feature's naivety is a reminder that each of us must thrive, both within ourselves and within our communities, to make the universe a more POSITIVE place.” This piece is part of an edition of 15 and it comes signed and numbered.
