Sabrina Gruss – sculptures mixed-media – La cavale
/// Sabrina Gruss was born in Paris in 1958. It is during in her early childhood that the creation invites itself in her games. A the age of twenty, she moved to Provence where she studied to the School of fine Arts of Avignon and obtains in 1983 the Upper National Diploma of Plastic Expression. It is in 1993 that she develops her artistic personality. She settles down in the countryside where the surrounding nature suplies her all she needs to express herself and bring to life a strange and dreamlike world inhabited by characters made of bones, feathers and fibers. From 2000, her creatures, as she calls them, are exhibited in galleries. She is especially permanently represented by galleries Béatrice Soulié in Paris and Richard Nicolet in Provence. In addition to her artistic creation, Sabrina Gruss conducts art workshops in psychiatric institutions, jails and for youn adults in insertion. She is also involved in the artistic direction of exhibitions, for example in 1990 and 1991 for the Avignon Festival and in the design and realization of fountains, playgrounds, murals paintings, integrated into the urban landscape. ///

revisited Romulus and Remus – Artist Liu Qiang – sculpture (China)
Like a modern-day homage to the famous symbol of Rome, the statue of Remus and Romulus, artist Liu Qiang’s powerful sculpture entitled “29h59’59″ commands a powerful presence at China’s 798 Art District in Beijing. The exploitation of animals in modern agriculture and humanity’s perverse reliance on animals for food takes center stage in the riveting piece of art. We found the interpretation of a fellow Facebook fan, Joanna Lucas, particularly interesting. She posted the photo with the following caption:
“This stunning sculpture by Liu Qiang is an accurate depiction of humanity’s use of, and utter dependence on other animals and, in particular, the savage and bizarre habit of consuming the breast milk from mothers of other species—milk that these mothers have produced for their own babies, babies that we forced them to become pregnant with only to kill shortly after birth so that we can take the bereft mother’s milk, milk that we drink as though we were the children that we murdered.”

Jane Alexander Artist – Sculptures
« L’univers plastique de Jane Alexander est mélancolique, désabusé. La figure pleinement humaine y est quasiment absente, laissant place à des créatures bestiales. Des monstres créés et façonnés par l’homme. Enfermé chacun dans une perspective de plus en plus égocentrique, notre isolement fait ressortir le pire. Obnubilés par nos besoins irrationnels de protection et de sécurité face à l’Autre, nous avons développé des stratégies de remparts de plus en plus honteuses, sans jamais avoir appris la leçon de l’Histoire. »

Olivier de Sagazan – Macabre sculptures
For more than 20 years, Olivier de Sagazan has developed a hybrid practice that integrates painting, photography, sculpture, and performance. In his existential performative series Transfiguration, which he began in 2001, de Sagazan builds layers of clay and paint onto his own face and body to transform, disfigure and take apart his own figure, revealing an animalistic human who is seeking to break away from the physical world. At once disquieting and deeply moving, this new body of work collapses the boundaries between the physical, intellectual, spiritual and animalistic senses. The artist states: “I am interested in seeing to what degree people think its normal, or even trite, to be alive.” Olivier de Sagazan has exhibited widely in France and Europe,Canada, Brésil Corée in art galleries, museums, and film festivals. With an almost cult following online, and rave reviews about his expressive and inimitable style, it is no wonder de Sagazan’s remarkable “body art” work is featured in the non-verbal film Samsara, the Sequel to Baraka, directed by Ron Fricke.

Nicola Hicks – Closed up horse – Life study – 2012 / sculptures
Hicks studied at the Chelsea School of Art from 1978 to 1982 and at the Royal College of Art from 1982 to 1985.
Animals are her primary subject matter, usually sculpted in straw and plaster. This was unusual for an artist in the 80s, by which time abstract sculpture and installation art had become the norms in the art world. Hicks also works on huge sheets of brown paper on which she works up her dynamic charcoal drawings. Many of the sculptures have subsequently been cast in bronze, often with such subtlety that every fragile detail of plaster and straw is reproduced.

Nancy Kubale – Sculptures figuratives
In a body of work there is a common thread of expression and exploration that binds it together. My sculpture addresses the pursuit of Truth (trying to figure out what and how things really are) . I am intrigued by what we think, do and say, by who we are and how we live and the ideologies we embrace.

Leigh Taylor Mickelson – Lure albiflora
« My ceramic sculpture explores the different components of self, sexuality and family, and how these components relate and conflict with one another. I use forms from nature, especially ones found in plant life, as a means of expressing these components. Being full of dichotomy, the elements of natural forms act as a metaphor for the spiritual, emotional and physical extremes that exist within our selves, our love relationships and our family units.
The Lure and Botanical Duet series give homage to one of the most recent inspirations for my work: a plant’s will to pollinate. For me, the private “business” of flowering plants reveals a world that mimics human interaction to a fascinating degree. In addition, the forms found inside plants, once magnified, divulge a beauty that is regrettably unseen by the naked eye. In my work, I aim to capture the essence of these organic forms, reveal their beauty, and hence celebrate nature’s will to attract and therefore produce. »
