Chris Tap Figurative Sculptures

Dutch, b. 1973
Chris Tap (1973, Amsterdam) attended university where he studied economy and cultural anthropology, before he became a full time sculptor. In the last 12 years he developed his passion in an autodidact manner. Aside from studying anatomy Chris has spent a lot of time in Zoo's. with live models of big cats. Helped by faith, Chris came across the rare opportunity at the Amsterdam Zoo Artis to see cats from the closest distance possible, when they were given an anesthetic for medical reasons. Careful he measured up the big cats from every angle to the smallest details: the muscles, the bones, the eyes, the distance between the eyes, etc. He took a close look at a jaguar called ‘Inaja’. At Artis, the zoo of Amsterdam he came across an equal opportunity to study a huge male lion ‘Jan’. Tap is fascinated mostly by cats. The power they posses, the flexibility and grand style in which they move. He is the second generation of artists in his family – his father Wim Tap is a well known artist in Holland as well.

By Denny Haskew

Located in Loveland, CO

"Balance" by Denny Haskew Unique, 1 of 1, Figurative Sculpture 15.5 x 8 x 8" bronze, gold leaf, silver leaf, granite base Male and Female nudes balance together on a sphere in a dance of unity. "ENTER HERE, YOU ARE GOLDEN. IT IS NOT THE ROOM NOR THE LIGHTING. THE MALE THAT LIVES, IS YOU. THE FEMALE THAT LIVES, IS YOU. HOLDING, TWISTING WITH THE TORCH OF LIFE. AT TIMES TURNING YOUR BACK ON WHAT LIFE IS. ENTER HERE YOU ARE GOLDEN." -DH ABOUT THE ARTIST: Denny Haskew currently resides in Loveland, Colorado where he is actively engaged in the art industry as a sculptor. He received his degree from the University of Utah, then served two years in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Having spent numerous years as a guide and ski instructor, Denny has learned to love the rivers and mountains of the western states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. After moving to Loveland, a hub of successful working sculptors, he wasted no time in getting monumental sculpture experience through working with renowned sculptors including Fritz White and Kent Ullberg N.A. Since 1987, Denny has created and placed dozens of monumental compositions; spanning the full spectrum of the figurative genre. As a member of the Potawatomi Citizen Nation, it is only natural for his artwork to follow the Native American culture. His art has not been limited to Native American and southwestern subjects, however, as he frequently explores abstract forms placing emphasis on the qualities of the metal and stone used. As a Charter member of the National Sculptors' Guild and being close to other sculptors and the Loveland area foundries has helped him to master all the foundry processes involved in producing a desirable and lasting monumental bronze sculpture. Over 50 major public placements include the Smithsonian Institution, DC.; the Gilcrease Museum, OK; Cerritos, CA; Little Rock, AR; the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Sioux collection, MN, and the Barona Band of Mission Indians...
