About Conflict Escultura
Conflict é unha escultura en pedra realizada con mármore de Carrara e pedra calcaria de Kilkenny. O mármore branco e a pedra calcaria escura únense de xeito que as súas cores contrastantes se atopan ao longo de contornos labrados. A base de pedra calcaria está moldeada para acoller a forma do mármore, e a cor terrosa da base revélase no punto de contacto. Onde a forma de mármore está cortada, aparece unha sección interior de bordos cadrados. As formas foron cortadas e pulidas con amoladoras, e determinadas áreas foron labradas a man. A escultura mide 54 cm de alto, 44 cm de ancho e 20 cm de profundidade.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This sculpture has bold properties seen through line, tone and texture, it is also aesthetically very appealing. The strong contrast of colours between the 2 stone forms reels the eye closer for inspection. Upon closer viewing the contrasting tones of the mediums is executed brilliantly through textures which change dramatically where the various forms meet. The Irish Limestone base earthen colour is revealed where the contour of the beautiful Carrara Marble's form collide with it. At the point where the Carrara's shape is dissected it reveals an inner square edged secret, providing us with the knowledge a darker beauty lies within.

- Design Challenge
- The challenge with sculptural work like this is marrying them togther successfully whilst allowing your voice to be heard throw the work. I wanted to convey a strong sense of emotional conflict here through the colours, form and techniques used. The creative/ technical challenge is ever present to also ensure the work as by my own wish that it is aesthically pleasing as much as thought evoking.
- Research
- Research for this work was conducted initially with medium studies to see what materials suited the concept best while revealing strong striking colours that speak the artists mind aloud.
Studies of various carving/ sculpting techniques were also carried out from past masters, also seen in buildings and books every. I tried to use these techniques to convey emotions also in the Marble and Limestone.
The political and emotional senses were present and used to merge these mediums together through form and technical skill. - Inspiration
- This work is inspired by the political landscape and environment in which the artist grew up in. Born just 2 kilometers from the Irish border the harsh realities of the 1980's and 1990's are bore here - a moment of conflict captured through colour and form speaking volumes of the torn senseless sadness seen in that region for many decades. The religious divide and separation revealed through bold contrasting colour and form.
- Project Duration
- Made in 2017
- Operation Flow
- The work is an evocative piece, designed and made to be aesthetically appealing while being a striking/ moving sculpture. When viewed under lights the contrasting colours and sharp form evokes the senses. The technical execution on sculpture has been expertly carried out by the artist.
