About the Item

"AVIRONS, Lunar Cycles" is a wall sculpture made of copper & brass with patina, steel. Corrina is inspired by the work of Louise Bourgeois, Louise Nevelson, Albert Paley, Lee Bontecou. Atlanta-based mixed media artist Corrina Sephora specializes in metal sculpture, painting, and site specific installations. Her most recent body of work, Uncharted Waters, combines ancient and contemporary technology and nautical and celestial imagery to celebrate life’s journeys, voyages and the dance with liminal spaces. They are an exploration of movement in the transitions between day and night, life and death, sky and water, earth and fire, permanence and impermanence. Corrina’s sculptures are intended to be universal, but also very personal. A repeating motif in Corrina’s work is the boat, often a reference to her sea captain grandfather and the boats built by her father. Her mother’s poetry and words also permeate through Corrina’s work, “I am sending this prayer to you from the Moon.” Conceptually there is a focus on the elements of water and air, materially the works are created with earth and fire. Blacksmiths have historically created both functional works and spiritual objects, specifically staffs that ceremoniously touch the heavens, the spirit realm, and the earth, acting as conductors of energy. They were diviners, healers and sorcerers within communities, harnessing the elements. Corrina’s Avirons (oars) are inspired by these ceremonial staffs, combined with her personal connections to the sky and water. The oar is what powers and steers, physically, scientifically, and spiritually through uncharted waters. Corrina earned her BFA in Metals and Sculpture at Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, in 1995. She received her MFA in Sculpture in 2005 from Georgia State University and has done residencies throughout the US and abroad. Her work is on permanent display at The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, The Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Greenfield Hebrew Academy, and in the collection of The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, among others.

Reawakening the Spirit

By Sherry Owens

Located in New Orleans, LA

Sherry Owens Reawakening the Spirit, 2019 Crepe myrtle, steel, milk paint, dye, oil, wax 108 1/2 x 36 x 31 inches For over 30 years, sculptor Sherry Owens has used the sinewy crepe myrtle tree to tell her story of the Texas landscape, death, renewal, beauty, and of today’s growing environmental concerns. Remnants of personal stories, visions and observations in nature are the driving forces in her work. She believes that what we see and do in our daily lives leaves a mark on our planet. It is the direct impact of human activities on the natural world, which is visualized in her artistic practice. She creates connections with nature using crepe myrtle trees found along the side of the road. Each stick is hand-carved and cut to fit, then laid in place and secured with a small myrtle peg. What takes precedence in the laborious process is the importance of detail and evidence of the artist’s hand and her interaction with the materials. Sherry Owens is a native Texan, currently living and working in Dallas, TX. She received a BFA from Southern Methodist University. Recent Texas solo exhibitions include The Grace Museum; Cris Worley Fine Arts; Martin Museum of Art; Art Museum of Southeast Texas; and a two-person site-specific installation at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum. She was also included in recent exhibitions at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, TX and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, LA. She has exhibited internationally in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, India, Japan, Peru, and Turkey. Her work is currently on view in the Ground Zero 360 Remembrance Exhibition at the Museum of Biblical Art...

Ascent, 39"high mixed media, unique sculpture

Ascent, 39"high mixed media, unique sculpture

By Ron Chapel

Located in Loveland, CO

"Ascent" by Chapel 39x12x6" one-of-a-kind sculpture Mixed Media: Dyed Concrete, Stainless Steel, Marble, Steel, Slate This particular piece is available from the estate of the artist. It is in excellent, like-new, condition. Shipping price includes the custom packing necessary for safe transport of fine art. Chapel, 1948-2021, Artist's Statement: “I was raised on the Western Slope of Colorado, with almost unfettered access to the American wilderness. I currently reside on a sailboat in Oakland, CA with my studio in nearby San Leandro. I work with permanent materials including bronze, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, glass and stone. It is my contention that a work of art must include a complete environment, not just a single object. In my opinion, it is very difficult to convey meaning with either pure abstraction, or pure representation. Describing an abstract concept with another abstraction does not define the subject. There is nothing in a completely non-objective artwork from the viewers experience upon which to base some meaning. One the other hand, a completely realistic presentation doesn't define an abstraction any better than a dictionary. This is why my sculpture is a blend - the symbolic joining of modern man with primitive experience. They are in-depth studies of the archetypes and symbols used to communicate their relevance to our everyday lives. Mythology, poetry and art are humanity's attempt to describe the mysteries of life which are beyond our ability to consciously comprehend. This is the appeal of the visual arts, poetry, literature and music; they excite an emotional response, or memory that transcends mere words.” - Ron Chapel...
