Phosphoriglyph: Wall-Mounted Sculpture in Copper by TJ Volonis

About the Item

Title: Phosphoriglyph Year: 2015 Phosphoriglyph (“written upon Venus”) is a large-scale, wall-mounted sculpture executed entirely in half-inch copper tubing, taking its name from Phosphorus, known as Venus, the morning star, and even Lucifer (light bearer - as he was before his fall). The piece is part of the artist’s thematic commentary on humanity's destruction and failed recreation / subjugation of the natural world; The copper’s polished finish mimics the even, constant light of the stars and planets. Each piece is handmade and hand soldered and is one of a kind. _________________ ABOUT THE ARTIST: A self-taught artist, TJ Volonis’ creative work incorporates a wide variety of themes: human biological processes, the natural world and man's relationship to it, hidden systems, technology and contemporary culture, and the implicit balance between order and chaos, among others. He views his work as a collaboration between the material with its limitations and his own intentions and designs. TJ received a BA in Japanese Studies from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. After graduating, he moved to Brooklyn and has been a resident of the borough for the last 15 years, designing furniture and creating art for the last 11 of those years. He lives in Park Slope and works out of a metalworks studio in Gowanus. His work has appeared in: Architectural Digest, LUXE, The New York Observer, Wallpaper* Magazine, Elle Decor, Lonny Magazine, Freshome, Design Milk, Core 77, Artsicle, Gotham Gazette, and Examiner. He was also selected as one of NYC's top emerging artists in December of 2011 and 2013 and was the 2005 Best Emerging Artist in Mixed Media at the GLAAD OUTAuction.
