Maidy Morhous
5 Second Rule, Bronze

2019

About the Item

"5 Second Rule" is a bronze sculpture created by artist Maidy Morhous. The sculpture is 1 of an edition of 15. An accomplished printmaker as well as sculptor, Maidy Morhous was born in Upstate New York. She currently creates out of her studio in Del Mar, thirty minutes north of San Diego, California. Morhous received her Master of Fine Arts degree while continuing studies at Stanley Hayter's Atelier 17 in Paris, France in the mid-1970's. Before returning to the States, she traveled to Italy to study casting techniques at the Marinelli Foundry in Florence, Italy. Morhous became fascinated with how bronze, a cold, hard metal, could take on such a soft sensuous appearance, and has since worked exclusively with bronze. ​ Maidy Morhous' sculptures cannot be taken in with one glance. They pull in the viewer and force them to react and question what they are viewing; be it to question life and one's existence, the world's plight, or just to bring a smile to one's face. Morhous has spent years examining social critique, political, and cultural issues. The resistance to the oppression of socially inscribed narratives and socially dominating practices presented sublimely to the viewer are open to interpretation. Her recent artwork is devoid of the human form, which permeates most of her early sculptures, adding a refreshing twist on commentary. Morhous is currently showing in several exhibits across the country, including a solo exhibition at Tohoku Fukushi University, Sendai, Japan, and at the Oceanside Museum of Art in Oceanside, California. She is also featured in the award winning documentary film "One," by Heartland Films Inc. Her recently commissioned sculpture "Humanity" is the subject of the documentary. Maidy's work can be found in public and private collections in the United States, Japan, Europe and Canada.

  • Solid Bronze Animal Sculpture of 'Nanook' the Polar Bear by Tobias Martin
    By Tobias Martin
    Located in Shrewsbury, Shropshire
    'Nanook the Polar Bear is an outstanding Bronze Sculpture by Tobias Martin. Tobias Martin was born in 1972 in Wiltshire, 12 miles from Stonehenge. Influenced by his idyllic rural upbringing, and the forces of nature and magic that permeated his childhood surroundings, these works have something of the mystical about them. Each piece is approached with precise observation and an acute interest in the minutiae of the subject matter, manipulating the material with a delicacy and lightness of touch. Despite being realised in heavy materials such as bronze, the resulting piece achieves a sense of movement and character that conveys the essential spirit of the animal. Inspired by the work of Grinling Gibbons and Alfred Gilbert, Martin combines centuries old techniques with modern technology and materials. He has sculpted professionally for artists, film sets and exclusive interiors, as well as participating in numerous shows internationally including in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Switzerland, Turkey, UAE, UK and USA.
