Colin Burn Figurative Sculptures

Australian
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, an opulent reimagining of the classic game. Beyond its luxurious design, the set transforms chess into more than just a strategic contest; it becomes a profound symbol of connection, peace, and mutual respect. By drawing on the game’s global significance and rich historical context, Burn reveals the paradoxes within human interaction—where even competitive engagement can serve as a medium for dignity, harmony, and shared ideals. Through such opulent creations, Burn draws attention and invites viewers to reflect on the cultural forces woven into our everyday lives, urging us to reconsider the subject matter itself as to where the true value resides. Burn’s practice is deeply influenced by avant-garde pioneers such as Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, and Damien Hirst —artists who revolutionized the boundaries of art and its engagement with culture. Like these trailblazers, Burn navigates the art world with unyielding originality, often using shock and irreverence to question the status quo. His provocative pieces, such as his luxurious erotic dildo sculptures, push the limits of art, sexuality, and seriousness, not merely for the sake of controversy and attention but as a deliberate dismantling of the systems that govern meaning and value. These works challenge the viewer to confront their own biases, assumptions, and the traditional hierarchies that shape their perceptions of art, life, and sexuality. Guided by a deeply personal philosophy of artistic independence, Burn asserts, "I would rather cut a path and be hit with the branches than follow in others’ footsteps." This rebellious spirit drives his continual exploration of identity, luxury, and the human condition. His practice is a constant journey of carving new paths within the art world, where conventional boundaries are questioned and redefined. Before embracing contemporary art full-time, Burn spent over three decades as a fine jeweller, crafting unique and exquisite pieces. His jewelry garnered recognition from both the Australian and Japanese governments, as well as accolades from major Australian sporting organizations. In 2018, Burn made a significant transition, moving from commercial jewelry design to the creation of limited-edition contemporary artworks.

By Jack Graves III

Located in Saint Augustine, FL

Artist: Jack Graves III (American, 1988-) Title: "Diana Sculpture II" Series: Sculpture *Signed, titled, and dated by Graves on bottom Year: 2022 Medium: Original Acrylic and Enamel Painted Cast Marble Sculpture Dimensions: 17" tall x 6.88" wide x 6" deep Weight: 3 pounds Condition: In mint condition Notes: This is a unique work, not from an edition. The raw white cast marble sculpture itself was not created by the artist; it is a found object which Graves has hand-painted and transformed with his own design. The sculpture is cast marble: over 90% natural crushed Greek Marble stone with a small amount of resin poured into a mold, made in Heraklion, Greece. Diana is a goddess in Roman and Hellenistic religion, primarily considered a patroness of the countryside, hunters, crossroads, and the Moon. She is equated with the Greek goddess Artemis, and absorbed much of Artemis' mythology early in Roman history, including a birth on the island of Delos to parents Jupiter and Latona, and a twin brother, Apollo, though she had an independent origin in Italy...
