About the Item
"Guitar Player" is a limestone sculpture by Maureen Bergquist Gray. Much like the cubists in the early 20th century, Maureen abstracts the figure of a guitar player into simple shapes with only abstract references to the subject, like the horizontal etched lines on the right half of the sculpture.
21" x 14" x 6" sculpture
Artist Statement: "By creating I am seeking illumination and clarity in a time when neither is easily accessible. Being a sculptor is my attempt to reach beyond my barriers, either real or imagined, physical, mental or spiritual. it doesn't matter. I do not need to explain my reality to you. What I must do is open a door for you to experience a new reality. Some people will understand and some won't, this is irrelevant because the interaction between art and viewer has already taken place. One must trust their own instincts as to what good art is.... that is the challenge."

"Judge, " Carved Opal signed by Luckmore Joseph
By Luckmore Joseph
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Judge" is a signed opal sculpture created by Shona artist Luckmore Joseph. It weighs 178lbs and was created in 2004. It depicts an abstracted face coming out of the natural stone.
43" x 15" x 11" sculpture, 178 pounds
Luckmore Joseph was born in 1979. He was interested in drawing and weaving baskets before he started carving. Luckmore later found that carving was of paramount importance to him in 1999 when he was employed by Sydney Majengwa as his assistant. He first gained experience working on torsos, then later embarked on creations of street beggars and pregnant women, varying the styles. Luckmore gets the subjects for his sculptures after seeing the shape of the natural stone before he works on it. His sculptures carry messages to people and explain the daily routines of people like him. He carves because he wants people to know the good and the bad, the comedy and tragedy in life circles. His philosophy has directed him to the subject issue of beggars. He wants to let people know that every country in the world has poor and rich people and both of them have the same equality and have the same right to life. Carving has become a way of life for Luckmore, and he never can leave it for very long. When he is not working, he enjoys playing football.
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...
