Pair of Capistrano Mexican Folk Art Sculptures Attributed to Gemma Taccogna
Located in Pasadena, CA
Capistrano Gemma Taccogna, a Mexican artist of Italian descent, left a distinctive mark in folk art with her mastery of papier-mâché for the small one, and of ceramic for the big one, which she transformed into an illusion of porcelain. Her style is immediately recognizable: faces with clean features, large, stylized eyes outlined in black, and a playful approach to form.
These two vases, attributed to Taccogna, evoke Russian dolls known as Matryoshkas, due to the way the faces are painted, associated with the archetype of the mother of a large family, a symbol of motherhood and fertility.
The larger one, a mix of ceramics and papier-mâché, and the smaller one, entirely made of papier-mâché, share this common aesthetic, reinforced by generous, solid shapes. Their gazes seem to observe without truly concentrating, as if absorbed in a distant thought. This lack of focus gives them a presence that is both peaceful and enigmatic, suspended between wakefulness and dream.
The relief necklaces, applied with a deliberately naïve touch, add a sculptural dimension to the whole. The matte, textured material contrasts with the porcelain-like visual effect. One of the vases is signed "Bunny Price" and dated 1964, while the other remains anonymous. However, their attribution is unquestionable.
Presented together, these vases belong to the movement of the Mexican craft...

Dancing Sculptures in Resin, a Pair in the Style of Umberto Boccioni
Located in Pasadena, CA
Sculpture is at its most essential, a physical, tactile medium, and need to be touched to be experienced. Handmade resin sculpture is an intricate process that entails the mastery of various skills and techniques.
This pair of dancers, in gun metal patina finish resin, is not just a duo, but a conversation. Two bodies standing up on their respective wooden base, each with their own intricate details, height, singular twists, interstices and curves, ending by energetically coming together to become one, turning the static and the individual in a dynamic couple.
Unfortunately there is no signature.
As you let your hands wandering, closed eyes, you can sense fluidity in their movements, brought to life by soft and rounded lines. Every gesture and sweep emits a unique emotion, as if the two dancers were sharing a whispered conversation, inviting the viewer to witness their intimate exchange.
