Charles Sherman Abstract Sculptures

American, b. 1947
Charles Sherman is an L.A.-based sculptor and jewelry designer renowned for his continuum sculptures, particularly the three-dimensional Möbius strip (also known as the Infinity Ring). Born in Atlantic City, NJ in 1947, Sherman's work is deeply influenced by his lifelong study of ancient civilizations, world cultures, and religions. Since 2002, Sherman has explored sculptural forms that express the concept of infinity; hand-building his clay Infinity Ring sculptures using primitive tools and techniques. These are often transformed into cast bronze, stainless or welded steel pieces. In recent years, he has incorporated mosaic elements into his work using glass, agates, crystals, and ancient ammonite fossils to adorn geometric forms. In 2006, Sherman began translating his sculptural forms into sterling silver jewelry designs, creating wearable art inspired by sacred geometry. Sherman's sculptures are included in museums and public collections, such as the San Diego Museum of Art, the Mobile Museum of Art, and the Golda Meir Center for Political Leadership at Metropolitan State University of Denver. His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows across the United States and Asia. Notable public installations include "Serenity" (2006), part of his monumental ceramic Infinity Ring series, installed at the Fountain Park Sculpture Garden in Arizona, and at the John Entenza House in Santa Monica, California. Sherman's philosophy of life and art is to promote the positive, aiming to elevate the spirit of the viewer through his minimalist, conceptual works inspired by sacred geometry.

Brutalist Hand Forged Iron Mosaic Sculpture Menorah Israeli David Palombo

By David Palombo

Located in Surfside, FL

Hand Forged Iron Stone Mosaic Hanukah Menorah Candelabra David Palombo was an Israeli sculptor and painter. He was born in Turkey to a traditional family and immigrated to the Land of Israel with his parents in 1923. They lived in the Nahalat Shiva neighborhood of Jerusalem. In 1940 he began his studies at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, and from 1942 was a student of sculptor Ze’ev Ben-Zvi. For a period of time, Palombo was an assistant at Ben-Zvi’s studio and also taught at Bezalel. During this period he was also a member of the “Histadrut HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed” (The General Federation of Students and Young Workers in Israel). In the 1940s he took art lessons at night. In 1948 he went to Paris, where he visited the studio of the sculptor Constantin Brancusi whose work influenced him. Around 1958 he married the artist Shulamit Sirota. In 1960 he quit his job to devote himself to art. In 1964 he married for the second time to the artist Yona Palombo. The two of them went to live in an abandoned home on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. In 1966 he was killed when the motorcycle on which he was riding ran into a chain stretched across the street to prevent the desecration of Shabbat. His widow opened a museum in their home that was active until the year 2000. Work by Palombo is included in the Judaic collection of the Jewish Museum (a well known Hanukkah menora). Palombo executed the impressive metal gates of the Tent of Remembrance at the Yad Vashem, the memorial to the martyrs of the holocaust, as well as the gates to the Knesset Building the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco award) awarded him a scholarship for study in Japan. He worked in marble, granite, bronze, iron and steel. as well as with glass mosaic tiles. Palombo’s early works, in the 1950s, were influenced by modernist sculptors such as Brancusi. These works were composed of abstract images from nature and were carved out of stone or wood. At the end of the 1950s he began making metal sculptors, using the technique of welding. His work took on a more abstract and expressive character.
