Bronze 'Angler' Lighting Sculpture by Carlo Lorenzetti

About the Item

Contemporary collectible design lamp by Carlo Lorenzetti, 2019. Bronze on patinated bronze. The title of this piece references the ‘anglerfish’ (the fish) and an ‘angler’ (the fisherman). The anglerfish is an ambush predator that lures prey into its mouth using an antenna with a light on the end that glows brightly in the dark depths of the ocean. In vaguely similar fashion users of the ‘Angler’ lamp will find the switch located inside the interior of the piece where the light is emitting from. Secondly the piece is a reference to the Ouroboros, a symbol that can be found in the written histories of different ancient civilizations all-over the world. I find it fascinating that cultures from all-over the planet, that had no interaction or knowledge of one another, created the same symbol and ascribed significance to it. Most often the Ouroboros is depicted as a snake or dragon eating its own tail. It’s symbolic and cultural value differs from one culture to another, however the Swiss psychologist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung maintained that the unexplainable global proliferation the symbol was a result of its archetypical significance in the collective unconscious. This piece was made originally for a yearlong residency at Beeldenstorm, the casting foundry in Eindhoven. I worked closely with them in a co-creation format to realize this piece using the lost-wax casting technique. The artist references to Constantin Brancusi ‘Angler’ Edition 4 + 2 Ap.

Pair of Hollywood Regency Tall Brass Lotus Lamps by Feldman Lighting circa 1960s
By Feldman Lighting Co.
Located in Saint Louis, MO
Just ask Jennifer Lopez how much she loves her pair of majestic, organic and inspiring tall lotus flower brass lamps famously made by the Feldman Lighting Company beginning in the 1950s. These lamps are show stopper attention seekers. A delicate organic lotus flower silhouette made of glowing brass. As if born from light - each layer representing a season of life - rings of lotus flower petals bloom in size. A symbol of strength and beauty, Lotus flowers can grow in even the harshest conditions and still bloom. Brass petals are embossed with small lines softening the brass and adding more organic detail. They are also malleable and can be gently bent to your pleasure. Black lacquered wood base highlights and anchors the brass elements. Professionally polished bringing back its original glamorous glow and clear coat lacquered to retain it. Works beautifully in any setting from chinoiserie to Hollywood Regency to Contemporary and Eclectic. This tall lotus lamp is rare and sought after by collectors and fans of the Feldman Lighting Lotus Flower Line. Featured in Architectural Digest (last photo). Single lamp also available.
