Delphine Grandvaux
"Saghiaki", Transparent Airy Handmade Metal Wire and Wool Pendant Mesh Sculpture

2020

About the Item

This artwork named « Saghiaki » is a mesh work combining with felted wool, created and entirely handmade from annealed iron wire and green felting wool by the artist Delphine Grandvaux. Saghiaki is a kind of imaginary wise of Nature, invented by the artist through her inspirations by fantastic characters - the deer of the forest from Hayao Miyazaki’s cartoon "Princess Mononoke". The central volume of this work measuring 20 cm (7.9 in) in diameter consists of an amusing system containing a mesh ball removable from its shell (please ask and we will provide videos). Hung from a thread, the work takes all its greatness by playing with the light and the air currents that will animate it. The total artwork takes up a cylindrical space measuring a height of 105 cm (43.4 in) and a diameter of 40  cm (15.8 in). Delphine Grandvaux is a French sculptor. In the mesh works of Delphine Grandvaux, the metallic threads, sometimes associated with other light materials like wood, wool, etc., seem to be tamed by the power of her technique and by her freedom of imagination. They transform themselves under the hands of the artiste into voluminous organic and dynamic forms, fine and refined, with fluid movements inside as well as outside the work. Playing with light and shadow, the transparent or semi-transparent forms created by the artist are truly evocative of poetry, delicacy and elegance.

  • Abstract Head Sculpture: 'Untitled'
    By Kelly Bugden + Van Wifvat
    Located in New York, NY
    The artistic collaboration of Kelly Bugden + Van Wifvat has produced a thought-provoking body of sculptures, paintings, and constructions. Nature, childhood memories, and everyday archetypes take shape in unexpected combinations of materials. The works emerged as the tactile and visual senses channeled the ritualistic power and materiality of selected artifacts. The resulting objects exist in a space between what they were originally and what they could become. A wheel, for example, is distorted as if seen through a prism. Their collaboration grew out of years of shaping materials into one-of-a-kind objects. Intuitively, the process of creating with their hands took an inward turn. Prism is a travelogue through memories and dreams, yielding abstract forms that capture moments of transformation. Van Wifvat grew up with eight siblings and studied sculpture and environmental design in Minneapolis at MCAD. In 1979, he opened a storefront art gallery to promote the work of local artists. The space featured printed materials—art books, periodicals, fanzines, and postcard’s. Wifvat moved to New York in 1983 to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons. In 1987, he co-founded Van Gregory & Norton design studio, specializing in convex mirrors and curtain hardware...
