Marcin Rusak, "Tephra Sculpture 003", 2022, Real Flowers, Zinc, In Stock

Drawing their name from the geological term indicating petrified fragments spat from volcanoes, the objects from the Tephra series are handcrafted using real, specially treated flowers mounted on sculptural forms made of steel wire and jute. Metallised using a thermo-coating technique that covers the dense textures in a paper-thin layer of molten metal, the structures preserve the eternal blossom in an almost Pompeiian effect of silhouettes covered in volcanic debris. The form of the Tephra Sculpture 006 comes from the study of plants’ anatomy, revealing an unexpected complexity of botanic forms that symbolise nature’s creativity. The sewing, bending and welding interlaced with the sublime fragility of flowers are blended, and in fact muted, by the rigidity of the industrial metallisation process. Cocooned by streams of liquified metal and finished by hand to achieve a polished or matte texture, the sculptures, reminiscent of monochrome bas-reliefs, establish a new field of exploration for Marcin Rusak Studio...

Marcin Rusak Studio’s merging metals collection focuses on showcasing the painterly qualities of merging metals, with the aim to instil artistic expression into the industrial processes associated with this material. The collection adopts a metal spraying technique traditionally used for large-scale industrial manufacture, and renders the process handmade, resulting in individually unique pieces. By applying metals such as bronze, brass, copper, zinc and aluminium to objects as if they were three-dimensional canvases, a truly original aesthetic landscape is created; one of deep colours and rich textures reminiscent of Minimalist sculpture and colour-field painting. The Merging Metals Drinks Cabinet...
