2017

About the Item

“Mindful” 2017 A unique, surrealist sculpture made from fabricated steel, glass, cast concrete, yellow glass & paint. 28 h x 33 w x 14 d (inches) Signed Provenance: The collection of the artist Born in Jamaica, West Indies, and raised in Rochester, New York, Earl James earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from The Cleveland Institute of Art in 1988 and a Master of Fine Arts from State University of New York at Alfred University in 1990. He was employed as a Studio Assistant at The Cleveland Institute of Art and has instructed a number of glass workshops at Penland School of Craft. He has worked in his Cleveland, Ohio studio since 1990. From furnaces producing molten glass he designs and makes both functional and nonfunctional blown glass objects. Mixed media sculptural works were a part of his artistic education and a continuing pursuit. His Sculptures utilize materials and processes such as: fabricating metal through welding, machining, and forging, shaping of wood by hand or machine, using the casting process, carving waxes, creating molds, pouring of hot metal, casting of glass, or the cold forming of cement. The sculptures are at times born out of reoccurring thoughts, joyous or worrisome occurrences, a question, a curious object, a glimpse of a compelling sight. These are the sparks that begin the journey toward making an idea tangible. Ultimately, these Sculptural works are meant to evoke a response, inspire a thought, or search for commonality with the viewer.

Davide Quayola (Italian, b. 1982) "Laocoon Fragment #8_005.003" 2016 Made of Iron, epoxy, fiberglass, mirror-polished steel & wood. Dimensions: 19.7 x 11 x 15.75 inches (50 x 28 x 40 cm) Base Plate Dimensions: .8 x 23.7 x 23.7 inches (2 x 60 x 60 cm) base From the signed and numbered edition of 3 "Quayola employs technology as a lens to explore the tensions and equilibriums between seemingly opposing forces: the real and artificial, figurative and abstract, old and new. Constructing immersive installations, he engages with and re-imagines canonical imagery through contemporary technology. Landscape painting, classical sculpture and iconography are some of the historical aesthetics that serve as a point of departure for Quayola’s hybrid compositions. His varied practice, all deriving from custom computer software, also includes audiovisual performance, immersive video installations, sculpture, and works on paper. His work has been performed and exhibited in many prestigious institutions worldwide including V&A Museum, London; Park Avenue Armory, New York; National Art Center, Tokyo; UCCA, Beijing; How Art Museum, Shanghai; SeMA, Seoul; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Ars Electronica, Linz; Sonar Festival, Barcelona and Sundance Film Festival. Also a frequent collaborator on musical projects, Quayola has worked with composers, orchestras and musicians including London Contemporary Orchestra, National Orchestra of Bordeaux, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Vanessa Wagner, Jamie XX...
