About the Item

"Massif Central" belongs to the "Stalagmites" series of mixed media sculptures exclusively made of recycled material used by Franck for other pieces of art. They derive from a geological inspiration and are infused with influences from nature's beauty. Born in 1995, self-taught, Franck Scala defines himself as a multidisciplinary artist, refusing to confine himself to a single technique or material for his creation. For him the sensation felt in contact with the material, its malleability, and the possibilities it offers him to express graphically what he has in mind is of prime importance. From then on, he most often turned to materials or techniques allowing him to produce his works mainly by hand, by modeling or assembling, such as ceramics, mosaics, limiting the use of large tools as much as possible. His influences, the primitive arts, symbolism, brutalism, are according to him movements whose aesthetic transcends eras, which can both relate to a distant past or a utopian future. Endowed with an apparent simplicity, these currents look at complex and existential issues (our origins, life, death, spirituality), giving them a universal, timeless character. Interested in these questions, Franck Scala seeks to produce timeless works with universal symbolism. His pieces with organic or surreal forms draw on the unconscious of the observer and present him with a universe that he already seems to know. This most often results in assemblages of patterns, shapes, materials, which although apparently abstract, are ultimately the result of a graphic representation that the artist has of certain phenomena, often natural, such as the impact of time and elements on matter. As a reminder that everything is constantly changing, that we are constantly shaped by time and our environment. This piece of art will ship from France and can be returned to either France or to an LIC NY location. Price does not include shipping nor possible customs duties related charges.

Turbulence in Aubergine, a Bubbly Glass Sculpture / Vessel by Anthony Scala
By Anthony Scala
Located in London, GB
Turbulence in Aubergine is a unique glass sculpture by the British artist, Anthony Scala. Sculpted and handblown, this artwork is created from very thick glass which is filled with a multitude of trapped bubbles. Each one sparkles and catches the light, all enhanced by the intense yet fading colour of the main form. About this collection in the artist's own words; "My Turbulence pieces have always been a way for me to step back from my precise optical work and re-engage with the material on a more ‘physical’ level. The colours I choose are always soft, muted shades which act as the perfect backdrop for the drama and movement of the effervescence. The shapes are unfussy so as not to detract from the light play given off by the myriad of bubbles. The pieces are blown incredibly thickly. This is to maximise the depth of the glass and impart an intensity of movement to the effervescence captured within each piece" With a career in glass now spanning over 20 years, Scala creates art works that can only be described as acts of precision. As equally beautiful as they are meticulously created and despite being a hugely skilled glass blower, it is with cold working that Scala excels. Initially qualified as an architectural model maker, it was during this time that Scala learnt many disciplines that would be equally relevant to and ultimately inform his practice today. His passion for glass was discovered however during an apprenticeship with Peter Layton at his studio at London Glassblowing. The beginning of a long standing association for him with this acclaimed studio. In 2005 at the age of 27, Scala won the prestigious 'Glass Sellers Award' (other recipients have included Alison Kinnard, Colin Reid, Richard Jackson, and Bob Crooks...
