Contemporary Sculptures

CONTEMPORARY STYLE

Used to refer to a time rather than an aesthetic, Contemporary art generally describes pieces created after 1970 or being made by living artists anywhere in the world. This immediacy means it encompasses art responding to the present moment through diverse subjects, media and themes. Contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, performance, digital art, video and more frequently includes work that is attempting to reshape current ideas about what art can be, from Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s use of candy to memorialize a lover he lost to AIDS-related complications to Jenny Holzer’s ongoing “Truisms,” a Conceptual series that sees provocative messages printed on billboards, T-shirts, benches and other public places that exist outside of formal exhibitions and the conventional “white cube” of galleries.

Contemporary art has been pushing the boundaries of creative expression for years. Its disruption of the traditional concepts of art are often aiming to engage viewers in complex questions about identity, society and culture. In the latter part of the 20th century, contemporary movements included Land art, in which artists like Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer create large-scale, site-specific sculptures, installations and other works in soil and bodies of water; Sound art, with artists such as Christian Marclay and Susan Philipsz centering art on sonic experiences; and New Media art, in which mass media and digital culture inform the work of artists such as Nam June Paik and Rafaël Rozendaal.

The first decades of the 21st century have seen the growth of Contemporary African art, the revival of figurative painting, the emergence of street art and the rise of NFTs, unique digital artworks that are powered by blockchain technology.

Major Contemporary artists practicing now include Ai Weiwei, Cecily Brown, David Hockney, Yayoi Kusama, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami and Kara Walker.

Geyser - tall, contemporary, abstract, stainless steel, outdoor, sculpture
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Quebec sculptor Bernard Hamel often looks to nature as a source of inspiration for his contemporary sculptures. Geyser emulates the fluid form of a spout of water erupting from the ground and shooting skyward. Forged from fine individual rods of stainless steel, this elegant and dynamic shape suggests turbulent motion. Geysers are a rare natural phenomenon. Hamel prefers to work in a variety of materials including wood and metals, often incorporating the sculpture into a natural environment. “My sculptural approach is essentially based on a direct relationship with the material….The material directs my gestures, determines my choices and the tools allow me, with their singularity, to model these shapes. Memories meet material to transform into a sculptural form with organic lines.” Bernard Hamel Bernard Hamel was born in Quebec and lives and works in St. Roch des Aulnaies. He completed a bachelor’s degree in visual arts at UQAM with a focus on sculpture. To perfect his knowledge of wood he completed a course in cabinetmaking at the Institut québécois d’ébénisterie, in Quebec. In 2005, he took a woodturning course with Jean-François Escoulen and André Martel, two internationally renowned turners. Since 1999, Hamel has taught sculpture at the Maison des Métiers d’Art de Québec. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in Quebec and participated in international symposia including the Camille Claudel Sculpture...

"Pearl Royale Chess Set" 14K White Gold & Diamonds Ed. of 3 by Colin Burn
Located in Culver City, CA
"Pearl Royale Chess Set" 14K White Gold & Diamonds Ed. of 3 by Colin Burn Medium: 18K White Gold, Diamonds, Sapphires & South Sea Pearls Limited Edition - 3 Only Edition: Artist Proof 1/1 NOTE: preparation time may take up to 12 weeks. Pearl Royale Limited Edition Chess Set Crafted in solid 18K white gold and pave set with more than 510 carats of fine diamonds, the Pearl Royale stands as the world’s most opulent chess set ever created. This unique and lavish chess set radiates pure opulence through the finest quality materials, design, and workmanship. Handcrafted with a luxurious regal feel the Pearl Royale is symbolic in its design to the renowned 1849 Staunton standard chess set. Limited edition with only three sets being created, each being hallmarked, numbered, and authorized by the artist. Each solid 18K white gold chess piece is painstakingly paved’ set with the highest quality fine diamonds, AAA South Sea pearls, and Ceylon Blue sapphires, sitting atop a crystal glass board embellished with solid 18K white gold, pearl, and diamond set corners. The underside of each piece is intricately designed and channel set with the same quality fine diamonds and finished with smooth polished edges to glide effortlessly across the crystal glass board. Crafted as part of the artist's Limited-Edition Pearl Royale contemporary art collection, this truly unique chess set is sure to be realized as one of the world’s finest jewelry artworks ever created. Exquisite Staunton With championship origins, the Staunton design has been the world standard since 1849. Inspired by this legacy, the artist has paid homage to this royal standard, meticulously dressing and bringing each of his pieces to life with lavish regalia, fit for Kings and Queens. Artists Inspiration: As a young child I regularly played chess with my cousins so my parents gave me a beautiful Staunton chess set which I really loved. Growing up in the 60’s & 70’s my generation was exposed to Hollywood movies of epic battles, it was popular for us kids to have collections of toy soldiers which made chess a popular game as it embodied the same spirit and challenge. Thinking back on that fun times I was drawn to the idea of creating the world’s most beautiful chess set and in 2008 I finally put pen to paper to commence the design. At the time I was doing a lot of work with beautiful South Sea pearls, so they became the inspiration for my design to embody the heads of each piece and bring life to the characters. It was perfect as I could use both black and white pearls to define each side of the chess set. It was also important for my design to be Staunton-inspired as this has become the standard for chess sets since 1849 and the only chess set allowed in the world championships. I wanted to create the most beautiful chess set within this royal standard and it had to be dressed in all its regalia, with the world’s most beautiful diamonds and rich blue sapphires fit for kings and queens. My overall dream was to create the world’s finest chess set for the world’s greatest players to do battle! - Colin Burn The high-quality gems sourced and used in making the Limited-Edition Pearl Royale Chess Sets are GIA certified. Established in 1931, GIA is the world’s foremost authority on diamonds, colored stones, and pearls. A public benefit, non-profit institute, GIA is the leading source of knowledge, standards, and education in gems and jewelry. South Sea Pearls The Australian and Tahitian South Sea pearls are internationally regarded as the finest and most prestigious pearls in the world. Among the largest and rarest of cultured pearls, they feature a distinctive lustre and superior strength, endowed by their thicker layers of nacre. The Limited-Edition Pearl Royale Chess Set, features both silver white Australian and peacock black Tahitian South Sea pearls of AAA quality. Fine Diamonds The Limited-Edition Pearl Royale Chess Set features over 510 carats of the finest white diamonds ethically sourced and certified from the worlds leading diamond suppliers. Ceylon Sapphires Ceylon, which is now known as Sri Lanka, is one of the best-known sources for sapphire gems, particularly the Ceylon blue sapphire. Sri Lanka has produced sapphires for many years and a few of the most famous sapphires include the 423 carat Logan Blue Sapphire, the 563 carat Star of India...

"Pearl Royale" Platinum Sculpture 9' x 2' in Edition of 3 by Colin Burn
Located in Culver City, CA
"Pearl Royale" Platinum Sculpture 9' x 2' in Edition of 3 by Colin Burn Pure Platinum, Diamond & Pearl Sculpture Limited Edition - 3 Only Edition: Artist Proof 1/1 NOTE: preparation time may take up to 8 weeks. The Pearl Royale is the most luxurious vibrator ever created. Crafted from pure platinum its pave’ and channel set with over 70 carats of flawless white diamonds, royal blue sapphires, rare pink diamonds plus lustrous South Sea pearls. This exquisite sculpture is a truly unique piece of contemporary jewelry art that will be recognized for centuries to come. Sculpture comes with Limited Edition Artist Certificate of Authenticity and Jewelry Certificate of Materials. Artists Inspiration: “To encourage discussion and question society on the value we place on the sexual experience. From my observations it seems society could not reconcile such a luxurious item for the act of sex. I was of the mindset if we accept genuine luxury into other aspects of our lives then why not the sexual experience. It had to be outlandishly lavish with a high level of status, so the term fit for a king or queen was foremost in my mind. I wanted to create a unique piece of jewelry art that would hold its own and could proudly sit along side the world's finest crown jewels. Ultimately for me it symbolizes how we should Treasure the Erotic.” ABOUT COLIN BURN: Australian artist Colin Burn is a bold provocateur in the world of conceptual art, using his work to disrupt societal norms and spark critical dialogue often around uncomfortable truths. His art pushes boundaries, urging viewers to rethink their assumptions on value, power, and meaning, especially in contexts often deemed taboo or overlooked. Known for his masterful fusion of symbolism and opulence, Burn transforms ordinary objects into potent allegories, frequently employing their high monetary value to amplify the emotional and intellectual resonance of his themes. He understands that society frequently ties value to price, and this awareness is central to his approach. With an attention-grabbing allure, Burn’s work invites viewers to look beyond the surface, encouraging them to explore the deeper, often concealed meanings behind what they see—reminding them that true value lies not only in the material cost, but in the idea or theme that it represents. A compelling example of this is his Pearl Royale chess set...
