About the Item
A unique and captivating sculpture for any room. Placed near a source of daylight this work is extraordinary in terms of how it will react to light, through colored light and change with the different times of day. The form is that of a sailboat form paired down to essence. The planes of acrylic resin change as you move around the work. It sits on its own base which is original to the piece.
A futuristic way to bring light. color and mass all at the same time into play. Vasa's work is highly respected and he is unparalleled in his use of this medium.
The work is signed and has its archive number next to the signature. We have a detail shot of the signature area which does not photograph clearly but the signature is perfectly visible and it is a recorded work.
Often times an artist starts with an interest that is quite simple sounding in its objective. In Vasa’s case it was an interest to place colors next to each other, in space. He is modest man who then does not take credit for the incredibly hard work and dedication he has now given his art and interest that went well beyond simple experimentation.
Sailboat Form seems to be one of the shapes that he did a number of times and it’s a wonderful shape. It is evocative of a sail and imbues his sculpture which normally has an architectural feel to a piece that has movement and even an element of softness. Often in these works he does not dissect the form with color blocks so there is less play of color but there is still a subtlety of color plays which makes one want to walk around the piece.

Splash
By Robert Cook
Located in Greenwich, CT
Robert Cook’s Splash sculpture draws inspiration from the iconic photograph of a drop of milk creating a circle and splash in a pool of milk. This fleeting moment of suspended motion sparked Cook’s exploration of how to capture such dynamic energy in a static form.
Robert Cook was a great American sculptor and his works are in many museums and his iconic Dinoseras piece commands a spot on the street of New York at 51st Street.
Important to note with this work that it is unique and there are no other casts. Cook sculpted in wax and when he cast this destroyed the wax and there was no mould. Very few sculptors work in this manner and it speaks to a very pure and altruistic form of sculpture. If perhaps he had been more commercially minded he would have done large editions but instead he valued singularity as in nature.
In Splash, Cook freezes a moment of kinetic energy, capturing the elegant tension between impact and expansion. The sculpture embodies both grace and chaos, with a fluidity that suggests movement at the very instant it’s frozen in time. Cook’s mastery of his medium allows this dynamic moment to be immortalized in bronze, creating a powerful and emotional resonance that transcends the physical form, making Splash both a formal and philosophical exploration of time, space, and motion.
Signed: R Cook...
