About Conflict Skulptura
Sukob je kamena skulptura izrađena od Carrara mermera i Kilkeni krečnjaka. Beli mermer i tamni krečnjak spojeni su tako da se njihove kontrastne boje susreću duž izrezbarenih kontura. Baza od krečnjaka je oblikovana tako da prihvata formu mermera, a zemljana boja baze otkriva se na mestu dodira. Tamo gde je mermerna forma zasečena, pojavljuje se unutrašnji deo sa oštrim ivicama. Forme su isečene i uglačane brusilicama, a odabrane površine su ručno klesane. Skulptura je visoka 54 cm, široka 44 cm i duboka 20 cm.

Behind the Design

- 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.

- Production Technology
- Carrara Marble - (White), Kilkenny Limestone - (Dark). Hand carved textured areas, the forms are all grinder cut and polished with grinders.
- 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.
