Nicholas B. Daddazio [more info] | ||||||||||||||||
| Daddazio`s subject and sculptural niche since 1992 has been and continues to be necktie sculpture (Contemporary Urban Primitive Art) in both bronze and mixed-media. He studies the necktie as an icon and symbol of Western culture, rather than a fashion statement. He is also the first artist in the four hundred year history of the cravat/necktie to make figurative and representational bronze sculptures of the necktie/cravat. An article in the Italian Magazine, Nodus, (Milano, 2000) describes him as the "Maestra di Trasformismo" (Di Simona P.K. Daviddi). The figurative bronze necktie sculptures adhere strictly to the lines, structure, and volume of a real necktie, and the trick is to stay within this framework to create a human or animal figure that is doing something that is common to all. For, example: Tie Trumpet; Tie Saxophonist; Tie Geisha; Tie Ballerina; Tie Kiss; Reclining Tie; Tiecoon; Bowtie [archer]. On the other hand, there is the Representational bronze necktie sculpture that imitates a real necktie realized in bronze: Repp Stripe; Repp Buff; Repp Textured; Perch; Freedom; Posara; Spirit (s) I, II, III. There are other necktie sculptures that don`t fit into either category, for example, Male Moda (bronze); 50th (bronze); and, G.W., Jr. (Papiér Maché). Turning away from classic bronze, is a new genre that he is creating: Contemporary Pop Urban Primitive Sculpture. Mixed-media pieces are constructed like a real necktie and used as giant wall-hangings. A variety of fabrics and materials are used: cotton drop cloth; denim; burlap coffee bean sacks; bubble wrap; awning canvas; orange plastic fencing; orange and blue plastic mesh; furniture fabric; astro turf; stainless steel mesh; blue poly tarp; plastic compactor bags; and many other materials used in the construction trades. More than two hundred mixed-media pieces have been made since 2005. | ||||||||||||||||

Anton Dala [more info] | ||||||||||||||||
| Anton Dala, a direct descendant from the Scandanavian woodsmen of the sixteenth century, has taken his heritage of the now world famous "Dala Horse" and using his own equestrian experience, creates his stunning works. The Dala Horse was origionally a small brightly painted carved horse, given as a gift to the children of sixteenth century scandanavian fathers upon their return home from months away in the forests. It is best known today as a symbol of good luck and dexterity. Anton, with some forty years of equine experience, has elaborated on this theme. His mediums are worn horseshoes, unformed hoseshoe rods and re-cycled iron and steel. The use of worn horseshoes adds another dimension to his work, with shoes showing different styles and wear patterns. His pieces vary between realism and conceptualism and he works closely with clients for their commissions incoroprating, if they wish, some of their own ideas as well as his unique works purely from his own mind. | ||||||||||||||||

Greco De Angelis [more info] | ||||||||||||||||

His present works are marked with Polish nature and reflected new stimuli, which motivated him to work in Poland. | ||||||||||||||||

Eppe de Haan [more info] | ||||||||||||||||
| Eppe de Haan began his artistic career as a painter having studied at the Royal Acadamy for the visual Arts in the Hague. As a painter he seemed to be searching for what could not be seen. His search led him to the three dimensionality of sculpture which has given him the possibility of revealing hidden depths, fracturing surfaces to discover what lies beyond, using a fragment to suggest the whole, juxtaposing diferent aspects to reflect the complexity and mystery of his subject. There is an implicit movment in de Haan’s sculptures, a sense of past and present. The strong composition that defined his painting is always present in his sculpture. The beauty of marble, its inherent sensuality, its demand for discipline is able to express the tension between control and freedom which is so central to de Haan’s sculpture. This is very apparent in the sculptures of his angels; wanting to emerge yet holding back representative of a return to the dramatic narrative of some of his early paintings as well as perhaps a lessening of the control that has distinguished his recent work.

Helen Denerley [more info] | ||||||||||||||||
| Many Scottish artists are known for the discipline of looking and drawing and for their closeness to nature. This could not be more true than in the work of Helen Denerley who lives close to the land surrounded by empty roads. Even within the bounds of her unforgiving medium she creates an apparently effortless line as rich as the best charcoal drawing. Helen`s work also has a great humanity, optimism and an enduring appeal. The purity of Helen`s sculpture can only be diluted by whisky, laughter and the courage to dream. | ||||||||||||||||

Kate Denton [more info] | ||||||||||||||||
| Her strongest interest is in taking the classical traditions and reinterpreting the form, and so creating images that go beyond mere representation and bring into the sculpture a sense of other qualities such as power, movement or humour, using different materials to achieve this personal interpretation. To achieve this she often sculpts using plaster or very liquid clay mixed with straw. These techniques were used by Dame Elizabeth Fink and many other sculptors during this century. | ||||||||||||||||

Sophie Dickens [more info] | ||||||||||||||||
| Sophie Dickens was advised not to go to art school "It will kill you off,"she was told by her school art teacher. So she went to the Courtauld Institute, where she studied the High Renaissance by day, and painted the human figure by night. "I never stopped going to life classes. I was always trying to get to grips with anatomy," she says. "But the biggest mistake I made was when I left the Courtauld. I was working at a Bond St Gallery, selling Victorian paintings to tourists. It was aweful. One day, I just walked out." And into a commission from a museum in Plymouth to sculpt, of all things, the head of Walter Raleigh. Getting to grips with the eminent Elizabethan proved an epiphany. "I had to make him out off clay," she says. "Doing it was just instant happiness.It gave me the feeling of well-being which comes when you realise, immediately, that this is what you must do." Interestingly, when she looks back at her earlier paintings, she now identifies them as "the paintings of a sculptor". She signed up for two years' training in sculpture under Clive Duncan at the John Cass Foundation in Whitechapel, and the anatomy course at The Slade, where she would study cadavers. Fortunately for her, figurative work was going through one of its unfashionable moments. "It was great. I was the only person in the life drawing room. So I could get the model to do whatever I wanted. I used to get one man to act just like a chicken." Gradually her passion for clay graduated to a fascination for working in the malleable yet crisp medium of wood. "I wanted the anatomy to show, but not as if the figure had been flayed," she comments. It takes confidence to combine immediacy alongside references to the art historical cannon, but Dickens pulls it off triumphantly. Icarus, Europa, a cartwheeling figure, a leaping hare, ravens in the sitting room; the fluency and dynamism of Dickens' oeuvre belies a fundamental appreciation not only in the aesthetic of living beings, but an ebullient joy regarding shape itself. | ||||||||||||||||
