Philip Simmons
Contemporary Wall Sculpture "Prize Bull"

About the Item

37" x 26" x 4", resin, vinyl This wall hanging sculpture depicts three cowboys standing with a prize bull. The surface is cast in a deep midnight blue and black resin, with a wood grain vinyl edge which follows the contour of the figures. Philip Simmons' sculptures reference pop sources and the news media to comment on American culture. One of the themes that unifies this work is a nostalgia for a mythic golden age in American society that was created on television and in the movies. In this media landscape, cowboys and astronauts occupy the same cultural space. These pieces start with an iconic image Simmons sources from popular culture and transforms into line contour layout compositions. The fields of intense color are created with a cast resin, giving a reflective, gloss surface while the finely articulated lines of the figures defined in metal.

  • Fading pink (#3)
    By Hernan Bas
    Located in New York, NY
    Hernan Bas is best known for his narratively rich scenes that feature a wide-range of references spanning art and literature, popular culture, kitsch, the occult, religion, and mythology. Across his works, Bas seeks to defamiliarize everyday experience through humor, revealing the surreal and absurd lurking beneath the mundane. In conceiving this flamingo sculpture series, Bas was inspired specifically by the 19th century novel ‘Against Nature’ by Joris-Karl Huysmans. In the novel, the main character, an astute dandy of epic proportions, decides to cover a pet tortoise's shell with ornate jewels in order to see how the light would glimmer on it as it slowly treaded across his carpets. Bas imagined a fictional character of his own, a "Florida Dandy," who would naturally want bright pink flamingos as pets. The ball and chain keep them from flying away and simultaneously constrain them to a certain territory. . . . Fading pink (#3), 2016-2017 resin, feathers, galvanized metal buoy...
