Premier titre d'une collection consacrée aux Arts décoratifs, " Style Empire " n'est ni une grammaire de style, ni un précis de décoration, ni un catalogue pour collectionneurs en mal de références... C'est un bel ouvrage résolument novateur destiné à un large public, dans lequel textes et images sont traités séparément et sur des papiers différents, et qui met en scène la beauté, la rareté, la spécificité des objets qu'il donne à découvrir. Les principaux arts décoratifs sont évoqués à partir du matériau qui les caractérise : le bronze, le verre et le cristal, les textiles, la porcelaine, etc. Chaque texte, écrit par un conservateur ou un auteur spécialisé, précède son cahier photographique. Toutes les photographies sont des prises de vues originales inédites, réalisées pour l'ouvrage par le même photographe. L'accent est mis résolument sur le détail, les matières, la richesse des décors, loin de l'académisme et de la représentation convenue. Tous ceux qui s'intéressent à leur patrimoine trouveront ici de quoi satisfaire leur curiosité et leur sens artistique. Avec, en prime, quelques jolies surprises glanées au fil des pages : objets rarement exposés, jamais encore photographiés, bijoux sortis du coffre pour la première fois, étoffes rares, décors conservés " dans leur jus "... " Style Empire ", un livre original et surprenant, un autre regard sur quinze années de magnificence.

Spring Group Show at the Solomin

Last night, I attended the opening of the Spring Group Show at the Solomon Fine Art Gallery, 2 Balfe St., Dub 2 D02 T802. The venue was packed. There was a wide range of paintings, etchings and sculptures in a variety of medium on view. Most of the sculptures were bronze. Many of the paintings were mixed-medium. It was a refreshing exhibition with lots of new artworks. This show will run until 29th Apr 2023.

Victor Noir's grave in Père - Lachaise cemetery by Patrick Magaud, 1984.

Noir is perhaps more famous for his death and grave than work.

He was a journalist who was shot dead; the grave consists of a full-sized bronze statue of the man laying down as if he was just shot.

The statue became a fertility symbol - the story says those who kiss the statue on the lips, leave a flower in Victor's hat and rub the genital area will find themselves with enhanced fertility, a great sex life or find a husband within one year. The lips and trousers' bulge on the grave are noticeably shiny from people kissing and rubbing them.

T4TM (Theseus4TheMinotaur)

lost wax cast bronze, patina & paste wax

2023

(process photos & info under cut <3)

my minotaur boy!! pls click on the photos for higher res! my thesis is focusing on trans men and creatures (how original ik) and this was last semester's final. i spent a lot of time looking at sculptures of the theseus/minotaur story, and yknow? a LOT of them are erotic! i'm pretty sure i saw some of them on tumblr a decade ago, and that's led to this now!

as you'll notice, the minotaur has a big t-dick! i wanted to give him breasts and an enlarged clitoris to present a very masculine trans figure. the boy on the bottom is also trans because i say so . the piece is about looking up to older, bigger, hairier trans men and seeing something awe-inspiring and beautiful. the minotaur was locked up by a cruel father for being different, and i think modern adaptations tend towards a sympathetic asterion (his name in one version)

making this piece was. so much effort. it took me about 3 months to get it all together - from clay model (plasticine) to 3D print to silicone mold to wax cast, and finally bronze pour into the shell mold. and then a TON of filing, sanding, dremel-ing, and various other metalworking techniques that probably took years off my life.

i started with sketches and made theeeeeee ugliest model ever:

then used a 3D scanner to get it digital, then spent a goooood month or two making him pretty in blender! then i spent an agonizing few weeks trying to get it print-ready, and fiiiiiinally did

^^^ an early resin printed draft of the model - you can see in the final that i added lots to theseus after some feedback, but sadly the nosering broke off every time i cast it so i just. let that be <3

then came the moldmaking, and then the wax dipping!! the yellow stuff is shell mold (ground up ceramic bits and algae soup, sticks to the wax, then silica sand in varying sizes on top) which gets the wax melted out, and bronze poured in!

then it's all metalworking, cutting stuff off, and working with hot metal. they don't tell you about all the bronze dust and how annoying it gets wearing a respirator AND goggles. but it is for me health, me boy. here's him all cleaned up before the patina:

and then i spray him down with various chemicals to make it "patina" (aka rust) in pretty colors. wait a few days, then apply paste wax to seal it and give it that shine!

then we get what you see above!!! the blue was actually unintentional, and i'm still not super sure why it looks that way.. but it's pretty so idc <3

thanks for reading!! if you ever have any bronze/casting questions, don't hesitate to message me! <3
