List of some of my favourite sculptures and the sculptors behind them

Sasha Vinci is a multimedia artist from Sicily. These images are from his 2014 installation, ‘ Memento Flori’. In this installation, Vinci focused on creating an “intimate memory of being, to reach a collection vision and reveal the hardships, the illnesses, the social contradictions of the contemporary world.” He does this by creating a imagery that is at one end chilling, to a sweet at the other end, but still maintaining the idea of things that are old that have served their purpose, now blooming back to life, like in the image with the chair covered in flowers, worn out shoes filled with flowers and an old broken tv. The mediums in these pieces were wire, wooden chairs, clothe, old clothes, wax, flowers, shoes and chairs.

  Darius Hulea is a Romanian sculptor, who has a twist with the term sculpture. He likes to think of his wire and steel plated sculptures as drawings. He said “I hope that people will understand that I do nothing but draw in a new way, in a durable material of the past. I can then explore and research, as an artist, mythical, Renaissance, and modern thinking by finding three-dimensional examples that describe us now in a history of the past ”, and you can see a type of illustration in his series of portraits of many iconic people in history such as Presidents of America, Queen Marie and philosopher Mircea Eliade. His work is being held at The Renaissance Art Gallery in Bucharest, Romania.

This piece is called ‘ Three Minus One’ by Californian Sculptor Susan Erikson Hawkins. Her figurative sculptures in poly chrome plaster, bronze, terracotta, and steel evoke a sense of turbulent motion, inner conflict and mass. This piece was done in 2005, they are 6.7 inches in height and is definitely more of a normal, modern idea of sculpture but still carries its weight nonetheless. They have been featured in many of California’s Galleries and Exhibitions.

   This piece is called ‘No Big Deal’ and is a part of the ‘Red Memory’ collection by Chinese sculptor Chen Wenling. The medium used for his pieces are bronze and then he covers his pieces in red paint. I love this piece because the idea of it was to evoke the child within us and bring out the nostalgia of our childhoods. When we were children we had such a carefree attitude about the world, we weren't afraid of being free and had no shame. 

 This piece is done by Philip Hitchcock. It is called ‘Fallen Angel’. The mediums used for this piece are life-size cast gypsum torso, steel wings, African elk horns. The sculptors work is primarily composed of body casts, this came even more apparent when he became a personal trainer and started using his own body for his work. The body casts sculpts can range to many themes from erotic to fantasy. I love this piece because of the clear definition Hitchcock was able to get from his cast and as well, the shape of the steel wings.

The Proud Youth What are your thoughts on this piece of art? From the Vancouver Biennale website: Title: The Proud Youth Artist: Chen Wenling (b. 1969, China) Medium: Painted bronze, stainless steel Dimensions (H x W x D): 5.5 x 3.3 x 2.6 metres (18 feet x 11 feet x 8 feet 6 inches) Weight: 3,000 kg (3 tons) Location: South end of Drake Street along the Yaletown Seawall in Vancouver Chen Wenling’s art often deals with three themes: personal experience, human desire, and community imagination. His vocabulary usually includes exaggerated forms, bright colours, and whimsical and metaphorical tones. Frequently using industrial materials, his works are modest and earthy, and always have a timeless quality. Following his ambitious solo exhibition in Beijing Mingsheng Art Museum, Duration of Allegories, Chen Wenling has brought his Allegories to Vancouver with two monumental sculptures featured in the Vancouver Biennale‘s Open Air Museum, The Proud Youth and Boy Holding a Shark, and an indoor exhibition at Sunzen Art Gallery, all curated by Michael Suh. The Proud Youth is a representative artwork in Chen Wenling’s Red Memories series. It is named after a popular Wuxia (Martial Heroes) novel called The Smiling, Proud Wanderer (Xiao Ao Jiang Hu 笑傲江湖), which in Chinese literally means “to live a carefree life in a mundane world of strife.” The novel is frequently read as a political allegory. Not only does the bright red colour signify auspiciousness in Chinese tradition, but this colour is also a testament to the artist’s fiery attitude toward life. The red figure, naked and free, fully reveals his honesty and fearlessness. Simple and truthful, this work creates a direct communication between man and nature, and initiates a sincere conversation between people and society. The cheeky expression and arresting pose are a celebratory call to audiences, inviting them to embrace their inner child. #Vancouver #ChenWenling #Art https://www.instagram.com/p/CM1BVf6hbKY/?igshid=2lkf4su27od3

WHAT YOU SEE MIGHT NOT BE REAL by #ChenWenling Larger-than-life fiberglass installation of Wall Street's symbol; a golden bull, ramming into a horned matador; the notorious ponzie scheme criminal Bernie Madoff. #BetweenMirrors

Our designs so often live only virtually and limited to the screen size of a smart phone or monitor. One of our favorite images from our Beijing trip. The bull is supposed to represent Wall Street.
