Butterfly Sconce by Eduard Locota, Special Order for Lucinda

About the Item

SPECIAL ORDER for Lucinda: Includes two (2) Butterfly Sconce Sculptures + shipping. "Once upon a time, I was a Butterfly": the unique approach of Eduard Locota towards art, embrace the permeability between art and function. An unique mirror that is as much sculpture as it is design. By using coal as a manufacturing material, Eduard Locota is predicting a feasible future for coal, but not as one of the world’s leading combustibles. If we analyzing the past of the material: its transformation from a plant into a rock, and currently into the fuel; we can try to predict the new and complex future of coal and similar fossil-fuel. The artist is reinterpreting the purpose of fossil fuel, we actually go beyond recycling, towards an active transformation of the material. The artwork tells the metamorphosis story of a young man, that is full of hope [once a little butterfly with big thoughts, who wanted to conquer the peaks of humanity], transformed into an old aged worker, into a simple proletarian, into a “miner” with a lamp at his forehead. It reminds me of my grandfather, of yours … maybe of ourselves. Dimensions: L 47 cm, W 45cm, H 28 cm Note: Because each piece is 100% unique and handmade, dimensions may vary from 1 to 2 cm. Limited edition Once upon a time, I was a Butterfly: is limited to 35 editions + 2AP. Each piece is signed by the artist and accompanied with a “Certificate of Authenticity”. Medium Coal, resin, brass wire, light. 110-220v, powerful LED illumination About the artist, Eduard Locota: "In the contemporary context, channeled almost exclusively on our natural resources, once abundant natural resources such as fossil fuel, water and even clean oxygen, become rare commodities. In the current context focused on excessive and unsustainable consumerism, the 21st century welcomes us with a Darwinian transformation for both men and nature. Evolution which leads to the development of a synthetic man living in a synthetic nature. Heavy topics as regeneration and sustainable environment are thrown into the arms of the future generations, that have not been born yet. Thus, the artist’s creations highlight the synthesis through alternative materials used, such as: synthetic marble (resin and marble dust), synthetic resin (Plexiglass), synthetic cement (Jesmonite), charcoal, wood, and so on. His works have a powerful conceptual plasticity but also physical plasticity, a concept that can be interpreted as modern works of the 21st century."
