Ondřej Oliva
Mussel I by Ondřej Oliva - Unique aluminium sculpture, figurative, seafood

2011

About the Item

Mussel I is a unique aluminium sculpture by contemporary artist Ondřej Oliva, dimensions are 20 cm × 49 cm × 26 cm (7.9 × 19.3 × 10.2 in). The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. This figure was motivated by three years' insight as an extravagance eatery culinary expert in the US, where the sculptor had been dazzled with the amounts, tones and scents of the prepared food, chiefly fish. In this work, Ondřej plays with shapes, organizations and sizes by making an enormous mussel through the juxtaposition and fractional superposition of a horde of more modest mussels. Ondrej Oliva, a Czech sculptor, draws inspiration for his works from both the natural and everyday objects that surround us. He often returns to familiar objects, such as foods, to produce new works that are rich in allusions and allusions. Ondej uses bronze or aluminium to give his works a long-term perspective, so the material selection is crucial.

At their best, they’re all just tools to help you find a path through the darkness. None of them really work that well, but they help. Of them all, science seems to be the one right now. Like religion, it provides the glimmer of hope that maybe it will be all right in the end.’ (D. Hirst, quoted in conversation with S. O’Hagan in New Religion Damien Hirst, exh. cat., British Council, London, 2006, p. 5) Born in 1965 in Bristol, Hirst grew up in Leeds and subsequently went to Goldsmith's College in London. Between 1988 and 1990 he curated a series of exhibitions of work by his contemporaries including the highly acclaimed group shows Freeze, Modern Medicine and Gambler. In his own work Hirst has continually challenged the boundaries between art, science, the media and popular culture. A 12-foot tiger shark, a cow and her calf sawn in two, pharmaceutical bottles...
