Salt crystals, acrylic series (2015) - Fish
By Christine Nguyen
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This is a beautiful layered, mixed media piece using acrylic ink, salt water and salt crystals, on unprocessed photographic paper. The video shows the salt crystals shimmering on the paper when light reflects off it. This piece conjures up a beautiful underwater sea world.
The layering of works, creating depth, process and nature are important elements of the artist' work . For example, salt crystallization has been used on found objects and encrusted on photo based works on paper. The salt crystallization process is similar to preserving some objects, while disintegrating others with time. By incorporating salt crystals onto the photo based paintings, the image presents a mystical otherworldly feel, capturing and refracting light and the slippage of time.
20x24 in.
Signed en verso. Singular piece.
There are 3 different works in this series. Each is a singular unique piece. Pairs well as a diptych / triptych.
Inquire for new works or projects.

"Kings Remains" 24K Gold Sculpture 8 x 2 in Ed. of 10 by Colin Burn
By Colin Burn
Located in Culver City, CA
"Kings Remains" 24K Gold Sculpture 8 x 2 in Ed. of 10 by Colin Burn
Medium: 24K Yellow Gold, 18K White Gold & Diamonds
Edition of 10
NOTE: preparation time may take up to 8 weeks.
Pure 24k yellow gold skull and spinal olisbos sculpture featuring an 18k solid white gold royal crown, set with 10 carats of flawless sparkling white diamonds.
Sculpture comes with Limited Edition Artist Certificate of Authenticity and Jewelry Certificate of Materials.
The crypt of the Kings Remains represents mortality and preserved sexual energy. The sexual spirit lives beyond the grave, etched into history and carried forward by those who have experienced this erotic power. The energy of an erotic past runs through us all, leaving a perpetual sexual imprint for others to follow and immortalize.
“The encasing of mind, body and soul as entombed sexual energy, preserved among the ruins of life” - Colin Burn
Inspiration & Context - Immortality was the underlying inspiration when creating this sculpture. A Vanitas reflecting on ancient royal entombment as man’s vain attempt to remain immortal by being buried with ones treasures. I wanted the sculpture to represent the encasing of mind, body and soul as entombed sexual energy, preserved among the ruins of life. The sculpture symbolizes how ones sexual energy is at the core of their being and how it can transcend beyond the grave for others pleasure and satisfaction.
Materials - Electroformed from pure 24k gold featuring a solid 18k white gold royal crown, set with 10 carats of flawless diamonds.
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...

"Casanova" 24K Gold and Diamonds Sculpture 8.5 x 2 in Ed. of 10 by Colin Burn
By Colin Burn
Located in Culver City, CA
"Casanova" 24K Gold and Diamonds Sculpture 8.5 x 2 in Ed. of 10 by Colin Burn
Medium: 24K Gold, Precious Cabachon Cut Gems, Diamonds & Pearl
Edition of 10
NOTE: preparation time may take up to 8 weeks.
Electroformed 24k yellow gold olisbos sculpture, embelished with beautiful smooth colorful cabochon gem stones, sparkling white diamonds plus exquisite sapphires and emeralds. Casanova inspired this venetian styled design, vintage itialian feel, rich in color and full of passion.
Sculpture comes with Limited Edition Artist Certificate of Authenticity and Jewelry Certificate of Materials.
Casanova’s playground the Venetian masquerade, with the mystery of disguise one shares in the freedom of naughty playfulness with no consequence of identity. Exploring new lovers in order to learn and grow we face our fears and jealous tendencies through uninhibited pleasure. Casanova the master lover inspires the freedom to explore and discover our deepest desires, surfacing our inner sexual being, imploring us to satisfy our insatiable imaginations and fulfill our wildest fantasies.
Artists Inspiration:
“I wanted to create a classic vintage piece in honor of the world’s greatest lover Giacomo Casanova, reflecting on his rich Venetian heritage and his impact on carnal thoughts and desires. The sculpture embodies the image of this red blooded Italian, full of passion, color and strength, dressed in ornate design and bursting with sexual energy. The piece had to scream Venice with all the mystery of disguise and its naughty playfulness. Smooth cabochon gems possessing natural sexual energy were my inspiration for the rich colors. The ornate wrought iron pattern on the shaft is reflective of Casanova's gateway to pleasure and my use of rich yellow gold, diamonds and pearl was to add treasure to the memory of this passionate man and his famous legacy of love.”
