KOBE Nude Sculptures

Belgian, 1950-2014
KOBE, pseudonym of Jacques Saelens, was a Belgian artist (Kortrijk, Belgium 1950 – Saint-Julien (Var), France 2014). He combined the broad with sophistication. Two themes dominated his artworks: the female figures, in all its mystery and simplicity, not as those we know from fashion magazines and movies. His other favourite theme is the horse. Not only because it is a symbol of connection, companionship, and strength. We also owe a lot to the horse. Its history runs parallel with that of man (in labour and in battle, in sporting entertainment, in defeats and victories). Kobe developed his artistic vision by travelling around the world. Kobe has always been fascinated by the ancient cultures in Central America, South America, Africa and Asia. All his sculptures are therefore preceded by a long journey of passion, awareness, and study. Kobe created his own style of sculptures that are instantly recognizable. Kobe was in constant search of beauty, simplicity, and purity. He did not inject his art with hidden meanings. His works of art brought feelings to life for the world to enjoy: love, happiness, friendship, and affection. Since 1995, Kobe has lived and worked in Pietrasanta (Italy), the famous and historic international centre for marble and bronze artists, close to the bronze foundries and close to the Carrara marble quarries. EDUCATION Kobe studied sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Kortrijk (Belgium) (1969-1977) as well as plastic arts, specializing in sculpture at Sint-Lucas Gent and Sint-Lukas Brussel (1972-1974). Later on he became a teacher in sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Kortrijk (1977-1978), at the Academy of Fine Arts in Deinze (Belgium) (1979-1995) and Academy of Visual Arts in Harelbeke (Belgium) (1990-1994). GROUP EXHIBITIONS (SELECTED) His artworks have been exhibited in numerous national and international galleries and art fairs including Morren Galleries (Utrecht, NL), Robinsons Art Gallery (Knokke-Zoute, BE), Europ'Art (Genève, CH) ASSIGNMENTS MONUMENTAL ARTWORK The most monumental artwork ‘Arcade’ (670 x 630 x 440 cm) is located in Canada, near the Atlantic Ocean. Some of his other sculptures can be found in private collections and museums, among which are ‘The Phoebus Foundation’ (https://www.headquarters-katoennatie.com/en/the-bather-kobe) and ‘Beeldengalerij Het Depot’ (https://www.hetdepot.nl/en/Kunstenaars/Kobe).

Ian Edwards - Surrender - Original Signed Bronze Sculpure
By Ian Edwards
Located in Collonge Bellerive, Geneve, CH
Ian Edwards - Surrender - Original Signed Bronze Sculpure Dimensions: 32 x 60 x 60 cm Edition of 9 Edwards’ practice expresses the power and determination of human endeavour. He draws inspiration from natural forces, with his powerful masculine figures often bearing the surface texture of time enduring landscapes. Edwards uses this external inspiration to explore very internal themes of fortitude and self-discovery. Edwards’ sensitive hand as a sculptor incorporates classical ideas about the sculpting process. In both Self Made Man and Creation of Self, a figure carves himself out of a mass of rock, reminiscent of Michelangelo's idea of seeing a form within a piece of marble and ’setting him free'. This is deeply metaphorical, reflecting timeless themes of purity, effort and self-belief. Poetic concepts such as these run throughout Edwards’ practice, with each piece subtly informed through mythological storytelling, creation beliefs and philosophical thinking. Edwards served a five-year apprenticeship at the world renowned G&H Studios...
