Michiel Jansen Sculptures

b. 1959

Michiel Jansen graduated from HKU University of the Arts Utrecht to become a certified teacher in drawing, painting and art history, a position that he still holds today. Sometime after his graduation, he developed a natural interest in creating autonomous art as well. In particular, he was intrigued by the sculptural possibilities of slate, a fine-grained foliated metamorphic rock type. He rearranges the layers of the material and creates new shapes from it, often inspired by nature although he also investigates the effects of geometric contrast in his sculptures. Through a laborious process of cutting, chopping, shearing, kitting, drilling, inserting structural support and grinding, he creates objects that often are characterized by a compact static appearance or a more open rhythmic composition. He regularly adds pure, intensely coloured pigments to his work giving an extra dimension to the grey-black natural colour of the slate. On a conceptual level, his work is related to artists such as Piet Mondriaan, Elsworth Kelly and Anish Kapoor, who he all admires a lot. Jansen himself has gained quite a reputation as well, resulting in numerous public and private commissions. Furthermore, his work has been exhibited widely in Netherlands and other European countries and is presented regularly at various (international) art fairs.

By Thomas Nozkowski
Located in Surfside, FL
Thomas Edward Nozkowski (American, 1944-2019). Original mixed media abstract composition art utilizing colored rock gravel. Titled, "Gravel Piece." Hand signed on verso, dated 5/73. Provenance: Collection of the Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach, Florida (Museum Inventory No. t.13.2000.053.) Thomas Nozkowski was an American contemporary painter. He achieved a place of prominence through his small scale paintings and drawings that push the limits of visual language. His work appeared in more than 300 exhibitions over the past 40 years. He had more than 70 solo exhibitions, and 24 of his paintings were featured in a large-scale retrospective in 1987 at Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC Nozkowski was born in Teaneck, New Jersey and raised in Dumont, where he graduated from Dumont High School in 1961.

His father worked in an Alcoa Aluminum factory and then as a postman. His mother worked in factories and as a bookkeeper. One of his aunts was a schoolteacher who gave him and his younger sister art supplies.

“Pen Decline 1 - 2 - 3 in Black” (Archeology series) Computer Keyboard Sculpture
By Daniel Fiorda
Located in New York, NY
Daniel Fiorda in this new series of sculptures, continues in many ways the themes that have infused his previous work. For the last several years, Fiorda has dealt with technology, obsolescence, with the trail of discarded tech that humanity leaves behind and what it says about us. The new work takes this thematic one step further. These new wall pieces feature barely concealed found objects, almost fully engulfed by concrete, and yet still eerily discernible: industrial gears, computer keyboards, objects that evoke industrial post-digital eras. This piece is a set of 3 artworks...

My objects are places of remembrance where multiplicities of associations take place. Most recently these have been concerned with issues of the human condition. “In recent ceramic Fire Paintings...
