On New Year’s day I was contacted by a US magazine who was interested in featuring my work and a short interview. After a few days of back and forth e-mails, the editor tells me that they have a Jan 15th deadline for the upcoming issue….. hum, that leaves about 10 days….Challenge accepted !
Pushing myself is what I needed to jump start 2010, after all this time away from sculpture. I knew it, I knew it was going to be intense… I also know that these are the perfect conditions to learn a lot.
Comfort Zone = Death.
This is certainly not my best piece, but this episode taught me unexpected lessons that will influence the way I work for the future projects.
To me this piece, “Show Off”, is the brother of “Vitual Kiss”. They both have influences from our world of today. An influence from Photography, Fashion and Beauty (with Show Off it’s more about emphasizing the attitude though).
A friend told me that “He has such a mythical stature, but looks like a funk master one might cross on the streets today.” Awesome. Getting closer to the goal. Step by step.
Have a great 2010.
This is yet another one of your sculptures that truly shows such vast range of creative genius Seb. A huge thumbs up!
I love that this sculpture elicits so much emotion from the viewer. That is in part what great art does – it moves people and makes them feel. Mission accomplished here!
