Thomas Junghans
Junghans (1956, Recklinghausen) creates abstract sculptures in stone, wood and bronze, mostly torsos and primal portraits, in a primitive, cubic and expressionistic imagery. He also paints and makes ink drawings. His sculptures are monumental and robust of character. Thomas lets the material of the statues speak for itself: the figures and heads seem to have gotten their form by only a few striking hacks. Nothing is less true. Thomas speaks of a ‘controlled sort of drunkenness’ as a state of mind when he works.
Everytime when he works, he has to overcome a sort of paralysis. Because he knows, as a sculpturor, that if he does something at the wrong moment, that it can happen that he messes up the special tension or composition, or even worse destroy it. With their natural grace, his sculptures, represent somewhat an archaic, unknown nature. His way of working points back at the original shapes, where not reality is the inspiration, but imagination.
This way he emphasizes the indepent character of the sculpture. .

Cloned Bulldog with pet bottle
By William Sweetlove
Located in Malmo, SE
Signed/Numbered 3/8 ex.
Silver plated bronze.
Acquired directly from the artist.
Free shipment worldwide.
William Sweetlove, born in Ostend, Belgium, in 1949, unites dadaism with surrealism and pop art in humoristic sculptures that at first sight may seem “kitschy”. However, closer familiarity with his works reveals their role as a creative antidote to the overproduction and overconsumption of our society. With his cloned animals William Sweetlove calls for greater ecological awareness and urges us to reflect on the consequences of the climate change challengeing humanity. His cloned dogs wear boots since the sea level rises and the penguins carry water bottles since we are runnig out of drinking water. William Sweetlove has had exhibitions at art fairs, galleries and museums all over the world. His works are found in several private art collections. He has also participated in different art manifestations worldwide together with the Italian Cracking Art Group. The community of Borås acquired the sculpture “Cloned Frogs on Gala Dress...
