“Africa Reinvented” by Keri Muller of Simple Intrigue, Cape Town, South Africa

About the Item

“Africa Reinvented” by Keri Muller of Simple Intrigue, Cape Town, South Africa. A contemporary soft sculpture created from repurposed used paperback books retaining the binding of the pages, folding each individual page and creating wheels of form. These wheels are then cut to varying heights to create the textural surface for the artwork in the shape of the continent of Africa. Excellent condition. Dimensions: 29.52 inches high x 23.62 inches wide x 3.94 inches high. (75 x 60 x 10cm) Weight: 7.5 lbs. (3400grams) Date: 2024 Keri Muller is a multidisciplinary artist and underwater photographer. Her sculptural work focuses on using found books and plastics. Her works often include raw materials, crystals and wood, to create totems celebrating the commodities our earth provides. Her method involves reconstituting the range of objects into artworks that are organic in presentation, attempting to link an artwork and its materials back to its original source.

"Ghost (Get Out of Town)" Mosaic by Toyoharu Kii
By Toyoharu Kii
Located in Chicago, IL
Intricate, ethereal and highly textured, the abstract compositions of Japanese mosaic artist Toyoharu Kii reflect a sophisticated approach to the technical art of mosaic making. Classically trained in Florence, Italy, Kii creates his modern mosaics using traditional techniques and materials, including hand-cut Italian marble and Venetian smalti glass. Eschewing the figural in favor of the abstract, his mosaics rely on contrasts of pattern and form to convey complex themes and achieve visual harmony. Toyoharu Kii’s latest body of work “Geophytes” continues themes of rebirth and renewal. A reference to plants that regrow from hidden elements beneath the earth’s surface, the series celebrates the resilience of the natural world. Each mosaic is imagined as a landscape that documents a history of environmental damage due to human activity, and the subsequent return of nature as a restorative force. Through the juxtaposition of patterns and the interplay of order and disorder, Kii creates man-made “images of destruction” and finds hope in the future by “reconstructing nature.” In this mosaic entitled "Ghost (Get Out...
