Urbanut by Ondřej Oliva - Large aluminium sculpture, nut, contrasts, figurative

2015

About the Item

Urbanut is an aluminium sculpture by contemporary Czech sculptor Ondřej Oliva, dimensions are 105 × 100 × 80 cm (41.3 × 39.4 × 31.5 in). This artwork is from a limited edition of 6, each edition comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. The artist plays with the contrasts between organic and inorganic, linear and curved forms in this reinterpretation of a common object — a nut. The sculpture's voids create an especially intriguing shadow effect. The artist is especially fond of the aluminum used in this sculpture because it enables him to attain the highest level of precision in even the smallest details. Ondrej Oliva draws inspiration for his works from both the natural and everyday objects that surround us. He often returns to familiar objects, such as foods, to produce new works that are rich in allusions and allusions. Ondej uses bronze or aluminium to give his works a long-term perspective, so the material selection is crucial.

  • Fading pink (#3)
    By Hernan Bas
    Located in New York, NY
    Hernan Bas is best known for his narratively rich scenes that feature a wide-range of references spanning art and literature, popular culture, kitsch, the occult, religion, and mythology. Across his works, Bas seeks to defamiliarize everyday experience through humor, revealing the surreal and absurd lurking beneath the mundane. In conceiving this flamingo sculpture series, Bas was inspired specifically by the 19th century novel ‘Against Nature’ by Joris-Karl Huysmans. In the novel, the main character, an astute dandy of epic proportions, decides to cover a pet tortoise's shell with ornate jewels in order to see how the light would glimmer on it as it slowly treaded across his carpets. Bas imagined a fictional character of his own, a "Florida Dandy," who would naturally want bright pink flamingos as pets. The ball and chain keep them from flying away and simultaneously constrain them to a certain territory. . . . Fading pink (#3), 2016-2017 resin, feathers, galvanized metal buoy...
