Robin Antar Abstract Sculptures

American, b. 1957

Sculptor Robin Antar has been dubbed Brooklyn’s answer to artist Andy Warhol for how she observes and documents the American experience. She was born blind in one eye in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1957. She began sculpting as a means to cope when her family relocated to Brooklyn, New York. Antar feels her vision impairment is a blessing, giving her a different perspective on shape and composition. 

Antar’s earlier abstract work explored profound topics of the human experience, like conversation, meditation and relationships. She lost her son to drug addiction when he was 26 and used her art to channel trauma into healing. Her stone knot sculpture David’s Knot in Flames is a tribute to her son and a reminder to others that there is hope in life beyond the struggles.

Antar’s realist pieces are inspired by her desire to answer the question, “What is America?” Following 9/11, Antar wanted to express her feelings about what being an American means. Through vibrant Pop art sculptures, she has recreated iconic brand products and symbols of the American lifestyle. Antar has said, “I achieved my goal when the U.S. government wrote to tell me I cannot copyright a work of art because it too closely resembled the product that I chose to record in stone. The day I received that letter was one of the happiest days of my life.”

Antar’s work has been shown in hundreds of exhibitions, publications and media presentations, including on the Food Network, in the Huffington Post and on HGTV. She was the first female artist invited to exhibit at the Pop International Galleries in New York, which features works by Rolling Stones musician Ronnie Wood and Warhol, among others.

Entanglement

By Robin Antar

Located in Wiscasett, ME

19 x 19 x 18 in October 2021 This piece was carved after reading 50 shades of Gray. Artist statement: My passion for sculpting is expressed in my creation of the virtual records of contemporary culture. I capture everyday objects in carved stone, using a technique I invented more than 20 years ago. At the start I mull over the food, article of clothing or particular brand I wish to replicate as historical evidence for future generations. I feel driven to duplication by carving stone of similar color – or purchasing one of neutral tones and staining it to that which I desire. I ask myself, ‘Will a bottle of Heinz ketchup...

Robin Antar: One day I woke up and said to myself, "I want to have some people visit my studio." I could not let anyone in because of COVID-19 so I decided to cut studio visitors out of stone. These pieces are carved out of a very rare piece of blue onyx.

Mobius H4 Black Marble - Contemporary Sculpture, Signed, Edition of 50

By Jeremy Guy

Located in Bloomfield, ON

This contemporary sculpture in black marble is by Jeremy Guy. For more than two decades, Jeremy Guy’s name has been synonymous with elegant, masterfully created modern sculptures that have attracted an international audience. The Möbius series is a testament to Guy’s timeless sense of design and flawless craftsmanship—this piece is honed from one solid stone of rich black marble. Remarkably smooth-surfaced and highly polished, this iconic form (also called the infinity loop)—a Möbius strip -- is a mathematical construct—a surface with only one side and one boundary. It was first discovered in 1858 by a German mathematician. You can actually create your own Möbius loop by taking a strip of paper, giving it a half twist and joining the ends to form a loop. Early in his career, Guy’s superb work was inspired by the renowned modernist British sculptors Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. Möbius H4 sits on a rectangular black plinth. “(The) infinity loop has been the subject of philosophical contemplation since its discovery by August Möbius in 1858. In popular culture, the Möbius loop symbolizes unity and timelessness. I have also added a semi-figurative aspect to my interpretation. This ‘Möbius’ sculpture...
