"Clean" cast glass sculpture
By Josef Marek
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
“Clean” is from a series of glass sculptures by Czech artist Josef Marek exploring the changing geometry of trapezoidal shapes as they intersect each other. Two separate parts are installed on a single plate at a specific distance, and the glass can appear almost clear to almost black as you move around the two pieces, with all values of green in between.
Scroll through the images to watch a short video of the sculpture!
Josef Marek's abstract glass sculptures showcase his extensive training in re-melting glass in molds, glass cutting, and polishing. Some surfaces are polished and smooth, while others are highly textured using a glue-chipping, or tarnishing, technique. Dangerously thin and transparent edges play against solid geometric forms, and sometimes tiny bubbles from the cast...

"Curvature Box" unique bronze sculpture
By Gerard Tsutakawa
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
Gerard Tsutakawa's playful interpretation of a window frame, "Curvature Box," is finely hand-crafted in fabricated bronze, as opposed to cast, and is therefore one-of-a-kind and not an edition. Finished with the artist’s beautiful, rich dark patina with gold tinges.
Gerard Tsutakawa’s designs are a confluence of the cultures and traditions of the Pacific Rim. Tsutakawa grew up with a rich heritage of Japanese design creativity and sensibility combined with a lifetime spent in the Pacific Northwest’s beautiful natural environment. Exposure to the esthetics of cultures around the Pacific Rim instilled a humanistic approach to his creative process. He gathers images as bold as a Tongan war club, or as sensitive as folded origami paper, and creates a subliminal integration as a new art form.

"SeaWave Maquette" cast bronze sculpture
By Gerard Tsutakawa
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
Gerard Tsutakawa is best known for his numerous monumental corporate and public commissions throughout the Northwest US and Japan. One of his more recent iconic forms is found in his 'SeaWave' series, with the full-scale sculpture installed at Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena in 2021. Here we have made available a cast bronze edition of the maquette of the already acclaimed public art sculpture. An edition of 20, this maquette is a rare opportunity to own a cast sculpture by the cherished Seattle sculptor!
Finished in the artist's signature dark blue patina with brown and gold tinges and signed and numbered along the bottom edge.

"Receiving (72-inch)" abstract bronze sculpture
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
Cast bronze sculpture with classic green patina on black marble base. Edition of 3 at this size. Other sizes and patina finishes are also available by commission, please inquire for more details.
Pisapia's "Expedition Series," inspired by sea voyages, is about meeting life’s challenges with courage and purpose. It connects to the idea expressed by J.W. Goethe: “Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.” Taking up life’s tasks can require one to go against the wind. The feeling of determination to achieve and continue steering through obstacles is poured into the pure forms; a dynamic balancing of the straight and curve on different axes. "With a rounded starting point," Pisapia explains, "I add on a variety of disparate angles, diverse curves, and twisting planes. I carve and smooth the surfaces, bringing out particular tensions and transitions."
Flavius Valone Pisapia is an Italian-Romanian artist born in Bucharest in 1981. He completed his higher education in the UK, with an MA in Transpersonal Arts & Therapy, 2014; a Diploma in Transformative Arts, 2011; and a BA (Hons) in Film and Video, 2005. Pisapia studied sculpture throughout his higher education and appreciated several sculptor mentors in the UK. Since 2016, he has resided in India, where he is currently an artist in residence at Studio Sukriti in Jaipur. He has had several solo exhibitions in India and his artwork is found in private collections worldwide.
"It's important for me to experience the world at a deeper level by penetrating the veil of the senses. Through an immersive process the essence, beauty and the pure form of an idea are gradually revealed to me. The emerging awareness flows into my artwork imbuing it with a higher reality. To achieve this awareness in my creative process, I go through three stages: imagination, inspiration and intuition." - Flavius Pisapia
