1999 Bronze Abstract Sculpture by Noted Mexican Artist Jonas Gutierrez Castillo
Located in Palm Springs, CA
A wonderful bronze abstract in the form of a female nude mounted on a terrazzo base. It is by the noted Mexican artist Jonas Gutierrez Castillo. It is signed Jonas 99 PA near the base. PA stands for Pruebas de Artista or Artist's Proof. The bronze has a beautiful warm brown gold patina. The base is a heavy terrazzo with lots of inclusions. The base has some losses to the edges which are pictured in detail. The bronze has some patina inclusions or spots, pictured as well. One of the artist's more notable works is a massive bronze title the The Stone Eater on Puerto Vallarta's Malecon. We've attached a biography of the artist courtesy of Galleria Dante of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico below: Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco in 1966. The artist began to sculpt at an early age. In 1980, he helped create the monumental public sculpture "La Estampida", which is located at a busy intersection in his hometown, near the emblematic building of the Hotel Riu. Jonás Gutiérrez is known in Puerto Vallarta for his monumental 2.4-meter-high bronze and obsidian sculpture...

Terrazzo Furniture for Sale: Shop Terrazzo Coffee Tables, Terrazzo Benches and Terrazzo Lamps on 1stDibs

Terrazzo has made a contemporary comeback in spades. Today's designers are bringing this speckly stone material into the 21st century, and terrazzo coffee tables, benches and other pieces of terrazzo furniture are finding their way into interiors all over the world.

Terrazzo is everywhere. Forget terrazzo flooring — we’re not talking about the drab material used for school corridors and hospital rooms in 1960s and ’70s. Today, terrazzo comes in an array of fresh and stylish varieties, including multicolor and white with black dots, like chocolate-chip ice cream, its characteristic speckles delicate or chunky. It graces the interiors of top hotels, luxury boutiques and contemporary homes. And it’s incorporated into lamps, seating, bookcases and tabletops.

“Terrazzo has been around forever. It is so vast and varied and lasts a lifetime,” says New York–based Australian interior designer Tali Roth. “The Instagram and Pinterest age leave us all wanting more uniqueness in our spaces, and I think terrazzo really does that for many interiors.”

The mosaic material originated in 15th-century Venice, where workers gathered marble scraps left over from the construction of palazzos and villas and embedded them in clay for their own terraces. Soon the clever composite was being used for the floors of Venetian palaces and Milanese entry halls. Eventually, it made its way to the U.S., where, in the 1920s, it became the flooring of choice.

Along the way, clay was replaced by cement and concrete, then epoxy resin. These stronger binders allow a larger variety of chips to be used, differing in material — from marble to granite to recycled glass — and size, from tiny specks to statement-making hunks. 

The design possibilities of the Renaissance’s favorite DIY material are endless — find a collection of terrazzo furniture for sale on 1stDibs.
