"Irukandji" 10K Rose Gold Sculpture 7.5 x 2 in Ed. of 10 by Colin Burn Medium: 18K Rose Gold, 18K White Gold, Diamonds & Sheoak Timber Edition of 10 NOTE: preparation time may take up to 8 weeks. Electroformed 24k pure gold olisbos sculpture with solid 18k white gold band pave' set with 4 carats of brilliant cut white diamonds. Finished in 18k rose gold with high polished wooden handle. The Irukandji sculpture is symbolic of the deadly jellyfish by the same name. Sculpture comes with Limited Edition Artist Certificate of Authenticity and Jewelry Certificate of Materials. Irukandji Vivarium evokes the temptation to touch. Alluring, beautiful but deadly, the ferocity and bluntness of nature is overwhelming yet intoxicating. The body and mind is unable to control the overwhelming embrace of the Irukandji as it consumes all our senses. Aware of the danger we choose to persist down this erotic path, where euphoria is only reached when we meld into one. “The price for contact with this natural drifting beauty is a powerful sting” - Colin Burn Artists Inspiration: “I was inspired by the sleek and dangerous Irukandji jellyfish with its erotic fluid opening and closing motion. The price for contact with this natural drifting beauty is a powerful sting, this erotic force is represented in the flowing design. The sculpture represents the balancing of pleasure through pain, along side satisfaction through healing. The feeling of the ocean is reflected with the glistening jellyfish tip over a textured sandy surface, meeting the sparkling waters edge. The sheoak handle offers the healing properties as natural remedies are often sort from the fruits and the smoke of native timbers.” Electroformed from pure 24k gold and finished in 18k rose gold, incorporating a solid 18k white gold band, pave’ set with 4 carats of flawless white diamonds. ABOUT COLIN BURN: 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. This shift marked a new chapter in his career, leading to solo exhibitions in Perth, Tokyo, and Los Angeles, where his works have been met with critical acclaim. Through his art, Burn continues to provoke thought and push the boundaries of artistic expression. He challenges audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about the systems that govern value, meaning, and worth in an increasingly materialistic world. His works compel us to reconsider the perceptions we hold of luxury, success, and societal norms, urging us to question whether these align with the deeper human experience.
