A LAOCOON Bronze SCULPTURE by GENNARO CHIURAZZI after LISSIPO, Italy 1880-1890
About the Item
An authentic patinated bronze sculpture of the Laocoon, after the original created by greek antic sculptor Lissipo, discovered in 1506, recreated and issued (with several size and creative variations) by Gennaro Chiurazzi (1842-1906) and the napolitan Fonderia Chiurazzi, Italy 1880-1900. This piece is more than just an incredibly precise and expressive reproduction of the iconic antic sculpture : it is a both creative and narrative re-interpretation by Chiurrazi of the discovery of the Laocoon and antic treasures in archeological researches since the Renaissance in Italy… Wich is often pictured in Italian classical painting, but rarely in sculpture. This Laocoon is perfectly reproduced, and/but… blowing out from antic ruins! This unique reinterpretation is signed Lisippo & Chiurazzi Napoli in the bronze. The additional, historical narration sculpted by Chiurazzi is bringing this piece once step forward from just reproduction to the level of creation. Gennaro Giurrazi appears as a creative artist and not just an exceptional bronze factory.

Set of 3 Metal CACTUS Contemporary BRUTALIST SCULPTURES by ESOJ France 2020
By (Circle of) Jan Weesop
Located in PARIS, FR
A set of 3 strong and spectacular metal cactus, contemporary brutalist sculptures, unique pieces by artist ESOJ, France 2020.
Dimensions :
The higher : H 101.5 x D 23 cm / H 40 x D 9 inch
The medium : H 50 x D 17 cm / H 20 x 6.7 inch
The smaller : H 21 x D 16,5 cm / H 8.2 x 6.5 inch
These pieces allow to be presented independently, as well as together (recommended) allowing various esthetic compositions. They are made to be set up indoor as radical sculptures, as well as outdoor on a terrasse or in any garden or even wild nature to create a trouble illusion between wildness and modernity.
We represent ESOJ and organized his exhibition "Metal Spirit", November 2022, in our gallery in Paris, and this unique piece was presented during this event.
Esoj's work is rooted in a direct link to daily life, to the visual value of consumer objects. Whether they are elements of nature or products of pop culture, he fixes them in the metal to give them a definitive appearance, a form of immortality: a box of opened chocolates will be there forever, nothing will not erase Mickey's sluggish smile, nor his middle finger; a succulent plant frozen in iron will no longer need water... A parallel world under construction, a world of avatars springing from a metallic quintessence which confronts man with himself, with matter, with progress, to the flow of time. Beyond their symbolic force, Esoj's sculptures express as much the visceral gesture of the artist in a world losing meaning, as they catalog his universe in a subjective archive.
For his first collaboration with us, Esoj looks away from his Barbie dolls, Playmobils and bags of M&Ms, to sketch a sort of return to Nature and vibrate an ancestral wisdom evident in his new series of cacti, succulents, vases and masks murals with shamanic connotations. A wisdom that he draws from his Portuguese origins, this saudade: “tension between opposites, on the one hand the feeling of a lack, on the other hand the hope and the desire to find what we lack”, embodied here by a particularly inhabited desert; where cacti are next to agaves, aloes, prickly pears, plants which are certainly ornamental but also hallucinogenic and healing, sometimes fatal; where the series of containers suggests an almost medicinal link between these inert objects, even more obvious in the wall piece inspired by Korean...
