Halitrephes limited edition contemporary bronze resin sculpture by David Tragen
About the Item
Sheer delight coupled with some magical visuals of the Halitrephes Maasi, a rare jellyfish of the deep sea, spurred me on to create this limited edition handmade sculpture in its honour.
The Halitrephes Maasi, a dazzling creature nicknamed the firework jellyfish, was first discovered off the Baja California Peninsula at a depth of over 4000 ft. Given that so few people will get to see this incandescent wonder, I wanted to pay homage to it, albeit in abstracted form.
I have cast the wall-mounted sculpture in bronze resin with fibreglass and finished it with a patina with an array of black and brown hues and subtle hints of pale green. As a contrast to the dark body of the piece, I have then gilded the recessed details with Italian copper leaf before protecting the whole piece with a wax finish.
This sculpture is the first in an edition of 12 and is ready to be shipped immediately. Further copies can be commissioned in either foundry bronze or bronze resin and finished in copper, gold or silver leaf.
The piece measures 610mm in diameter with a depth of 95mm. The mounting plate allows for the sculpture to be suspended at a distance of between 20 and 40mm from the wall, thus creating the illusion that it is floating in harmony with sky, earth and sea.

David Tragen
I am a British designer and artist creating original, contemporary furniture, wall art and sculpture. I make both open and limited edition pieces to my own design, as well as working closely with clients on bespoke commissions. I work from a converted barn in rural Cheshire and all my designs are made to order, ensuring that whether you choose a piece from my existing collection, or commission something wholly unique, it will have been created for you, by me, with intense focus and attention to detail. I believe that by introducing beautiful things to the home, whether furniture or art, offers benefits that far exceed the aesthetics. The poet John Keats said: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Owning something that makes your heart leap a little at every sight, bringing a future heirloom into your home, is an eternal pleasure. I find my inspiration primarily in the natural world and regularly use themes of movement and flow, characterised by clean lines and gently undulating curves. My work is predominantly handmade and blends traditional craftsmanship with digital design and production. My creative journey began in Barcelona in 1996, where I originally trained before returning to the UK, in 2002, to gain two further years’ experience in two of the country’s leading fine furniture workshops. Here I learned the precision and attention to detail that characterises the work of the best names in luxury, bespoke cabinetry, from Thomas Chippendale to David Linley.
This sculpture is an edition of 12 and further copies can be commissioned in either foundry bronze or bronze resin and finished in copper, gold or silver leaf. This edition is finished with wax, suitable for interior display.
