About the Item

A monumental 9 ft Tall x 12 ft stainless steel outdoor garden sculpture by Jon Krawczyk "Estrella Fugase." In an article about the artist in Home Malibu Times "Local sculptor creates 9/11 cross, takes it to New York Malibu sculptor Jon Krawczyk made this cross using metal pieces found in the rubble of the Twin Towers from 9/11. A local church blessed the cross before Krawczyk left on a cross-country trip to take it to St. Peter’s Cathedral in New York, where it will replace the crucifix-shaped, steel I-beam girders that emerged from the Twin Towers debris, and which have stood outside the church for the past five years." Signed and dated 1998. A graduate of Connecticut College, Krawczyk has studied fine art throughout Europe and apprenticed with various acclaimed sculptors. He realizes his biomorphic sculptures by cutting sheet stainless steel or bronze and welding, pounding and shaping with focused heat. Each sculpture is therefore unique, as the works are never cast from a mold. Krawczyk draws inspiration from artists such as Picasso, Henry Moore and David Smith. He is not only influenced by the obvious masterful techniques of these artists, but also by their philosophies of the sculptural process. Jon Krawczyk works in stainless steel, either brushed or highly polished, and in bronze, to which he applies intense patinas of earth tones and bright blues and greens. These works appear to have the geological marks of boulders, as sentinels that look comfortable in natural environments, can be abstract tendrils or wispy smoke-like forms that defy gravity, or long, thin, yet powerful lines that seem to jump into the sky. His most recent highly polished stainless steel sculptures are truly amazing in a natural environment, where they reflect their surroundings in surprising ways. Krawczyk is shown in selected galleries throughout the USA. He has created commissioned sculptures for public and corporate clients, such as LinkedIn (his most recent and largest commission at 200 feet long), Apple, Four Season Hotels, Trump Hotel, the SF Giants' AT&T Park and the SF 49ers Stadium. Krawczyk also garnered national attention for his 9/11 Memorial at St. Peter's Cathedral in NYC. Signed with initials and 89.
