Astonishing sculpture

Sculpture by Bruno Catalano.

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow

3. Nice photoshop???

But if you had ever worked in a fine arts bronze foundry (and I did) you would know that could be cast in three pieces but the left knee to satchel connection would be problematic.

9. Thanks!

I'm not surprised he has his own foundry-and the works are interesting. I think most outside bronzeworks would have concerns about both that bag to body stress point and also the strap/handle areas in terms of longevity...

4. Very nice. I do wonder how that might stand up to gale-force winds.

Or a heavy ice storm...seems like the bags held by his sculptures counter balance the weight of the upper parts, but snow and ice build up could change that equation real quick like. Maybe not, tho.
