Patrice Valota

Print on silk paper by the artist Patrice Valota, medium wax. Valota is a french artist with Italian origin. Since 1992 his works has been shown in solo group exhibitions as well as Art Fairs in Paris, London, Barcelona and Istanbul. He plays with wax, a supple and extremely malleable material which he works like a real virtuoso.Wax offers all its delicacy and transparency to the touch of his blowtorch. From my private collection, a gift from the artist, signed and dated 1994.

Industrial craftsmanship

Industrial craftsmanship, two words that usually mean the opposite, but if  I refer myself to Walter Gropius founder of the Bauhaus school, it is actually  possible to deliver an item on mass production to a craftsman excellence without compromising its beauty and creation purpose.

On this beautiful ceiling fan from a butcher's shop in Clunes N.S.W Australia, we are far from mass production but still the industrial touch is here with an elaborated  Folk Art fabrication.

It just needs a belt to do its job. I like it as a sculpture myself.
