“Ziggurat 2" by Russell Bamber, 2018, Gold, Purple and Colored Laminates
About the Item
The Ziggurat series (of four) are smaller scale investigations into colour, planes and form. Each Ziggurat as a unique, one-off sculpture, completely handmade and finished by Russell Bamber. The chequerboard ziggurat side panel is inspired by marble floors in and near Barolo, Italy and Baroque churches in Bavaria; both places Russell has visited frequently for inspiration. The pastel gold and purple tiles exaggerate the ziggurat form and are contrasted against the red and green ‘steps’ whilst the ‘Carrara marble’ back, and plinth reminds us of architectural solidity and strength.
The sculptures were investigations for a major sculptural commission for a London HQ.
Signed on the pedestal of the plinth

Russell Bamber
My sculptures teeter on the edge of design, painting and architecture; selecting and employing elements freely and playfully to suggest function and familiarity. They are there to agitate a space; to bring unexpected joy and dynamism to our lives, bringing a new and exciting twist to the space they occupy. I thrive on solving spatial problems.
My sculptures suggest function, and are functional, but their function is to tease and beguile. My mischievous use of colour and surface seduce the viewer into joyful excitement and further blur the boundaries of sculpture and design. Their dimensions can be domestic but their forms create a frisson; a frisson that encourages the participant to make a decision about their physical journey through a space (much as a kissing gate or linchgate), and pause to change direction or consider their direction.
I make sculptural decisions on the unlikely, unexpected and delightful meeting of surfaces and how the viewer experiences those decisions. The initial simplicity of architectural form disguises the complexity of colour: Form is primary, colour secondary and function way down the list, but crucial. The actual experience of my work is what brings my work to life.
As well as making ‘one-offs’ and limited editions I am open to commissions.
Recent commissions include a television ident for itv; a sculptural intervention for Clerkenwell Design Week, London; and numerous articles and exhibitions.

- Shore II, a Blue, Purple, Brown and Mixed Colored Glass Vase by Bethany WoodBy Bethany WoodLocated in London, GB'Shore II' is a unique glass vase from the Molten Landscapes Collection by the British artist Bethany Wood. An equal passion for painting physically inspires how she controls and manipulates her glass. Recreating the fleeting nature of brush strokes, Wood’s molten colors traverse across the surface of her glass canvases blending in a myriad of hues. Unlike their flat painterly counterparts, these combine and merge, forming spontaneous watery and lava like abstract relief flourishes. Taking inspiration from a wide range of sources, Wood’s influences are taken directly from the world around us, elements of the inner-city sit alongside expansive landscapes. Reoccurring themes are Graffiti & Urban Culture, exploration & travel. In the artist's own words; "As a multidisciplinary artist, I have begun to merge my two artistic passions, painting and Glassmaking. I like to express myself with the fluidity of the material. The Directional arrangement of a color palette can form the depth of an abstract Landscape. I use my own paintings as a reference whilst making in the hot shop. Each individual artwork from my series has been inspired by a specific place. Serendipity of abstraction has always been an inspiration for me; the coincidental elements which catch the eye of the viewer. The palette, composition and depth I have attained are taken from nature, with a bold but elegant swipe of my own personal, Expressionist style" Rising glass star, Wood graduated from De Montfort University in 2014 with a degree in Design Crafts, specializing in hot glass. Now based just outside London, she creates her own unique art works and also collaborates with fellow glass artist, Elliot Walker. The artwork is shown paired with Shore I, H 24.5 cm W 17 cm D 8 cm, £1000. Also in the image of three with Naples II, H 41 cm W 27 cm D 12 cm, £2000 and Night Drive...Category
