About the Item

Artist: Leonardo Nierman Title: Eagle Medium: Bronze Sculpture on Wood Base Size: 32" x 10" x 8" Inscription: Signed and numbered "Nierman VI/VI" Edition: 6/6 Year: c.1980 There are many consistent elements that can be seen throughout all of Leonardo Nierman’s sculptural works, including graphic, curving lines and a dynamic sense of movement. Within the bounds of those key elements, Neirman has managed to create an impressively varied body of work. Wokrking in bronze, onyx, and steel, he chooses his materials carefully, making the medium an integral part of the overall composition. "Eagle" marries a substantial, heavy bronze with a more grounded, solid composition, honoring the visual weight of the work. The choice of a wood base adds a timeless element that nicely balances the modernity of his sculptures. "Eagle" is from an edition of 6, and is signed and numbered by the artist "Nierman VI/VI." The work measures 32" x 10" x 8". About Leonardo Nierman One of the leading contemporary artists in Mexico, Leonardo Nierman produced a large body of work delving into different media, from painting, over sculpture, to tapestry. His works are characterized with vibrant color and movement, as they inspire contemplations about nature, cosmos and spirituality. A child of Eastern European immigrants who met in Mexico, Leonardo Nierman was born in Mexico City in 1932. Early on, he demonstrated strong affinities toward the arts, especially music, but also to physics and mathematics in which he attained a Bachelor's degree. Young artist first fantasized about becoming a famous musician, but this turned out to be only a dream. His degrees in color psychology and business administration aided his artistic propensity, but he never pursued any other career than the one in art. According to the artist, once he relinquished music, he began to feel color and this fascination keep s following him throughout his life. Scientific background the artist has helped him develop theories of color and light, which he would then transfer onto the canvas. Strongest artistic influences we can see in Nierman’s art are definitely Kandinsky, Klee, and Miro, but there are traces of Cubism and Surrealism as well. Leonardo Nierman’s style can be described as associative abstraction born from the modernist tradition, while his work is dominated by various interpretations of cosmic landscape. His art was always essentially connected to his love of music, especially the works of Bach, Debussy, Mahler and Stravinsky, and we can almost see the dynamics and rhythm of their compositions in Nireman’s brushstrokes. Leonardo Nierman was awarded many times throughout his career and he is the proud recipient of the prestigious Palm d’Or des Beaux Arts, Monaco he won in 1969. Since the 1950s, he held over 100 exhibitions across Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia. His works can be found in museum collections in 13 countries worldwide, including such institutions as The Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City and MoMA in New York, among others. Leonardo Nierman lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico.
