Peter Max 1994 World Cup Sculpture

*This is an extremely rare Peter Max Sculpture.  Peter Max was chosen to create the official poster for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. Adorned with vibrant colours - generating the pure emotion of a FIFA World Cup and unmistakeably a Max - the poster depicted a footballer thumping a ball into space. According to the artist, it symbolised the universal attraction of sport, while the pattern was simple and reduced the theme dealt with to its bare essentials.  He created this sculpture at the same time.  An incredible opportunity to own a major piece of Peter Max art.

Tuan Sculpture and art

Tuan’s artwork radiates peacefulness and serenity through graceful lines and rhythmic compositions so that while glorifying the human body, he at the same time glorifies the human spirit, exalting the exhilarating experience of life. Tuan infuses his sculpture with a celestial beauty that carries his human forms beyond earthly existence and into the realm of the heavenly in a quiet celebration of life. Though cast in bronze, his forms appear to be magically suspended like angels on the wing. Tuan has received the Gloria Medal from the National Sculpture Society (New York), a medal designed by C. Paul Jennewein and bestowed upon a young artist in Jennewein’s memory for a meritorious body of work as determined by the luminary board of the Society. He has been exhibited throughout Southern California and has been commissioned for a number of public and private works, including a memorial bust for the Nicole Brown Simpson Charitable Foundation in 1997.
We carry many Tuan pieces.   For more on Tuan Sculpture please feel free to contact us. 

Jiang Tie Feng oriignal art

Born in 1938 - Chinese Artist Jiang Tie-Feng was born in 1938,in Ningbo, Zhejiiang Province, in China. Even as a child he displayed a great love and talent for painting and drawing, and early on he knew the course his life would take. Jiang's colors are of unsurpassed richness. A colorist, Jiang's intention was to reverse the trend of the stale Chinese tradition of painting in gray, black, and white. Jiang says: "Chinese art had reached a sick level due to its lack of color." Jiang's use of imagery. As noted above, Jiang Tie-Feng is a storyteller. His paintings are steeped in Buddhist and Chinese mythology. Each figure has a symbolic meaning. The paintings have so much complexity and visual fascination that the viewer is constantly seeing something new. Jiang says "For every picture there is a story, and for every story there is a picture." Jiang has continued to grow and expand. Probably because of his personal experience in two cultures he has increasingly seen the world as a single system, as a meeting place of diverse forces.
Here is some original Jiang Tie Feng art we are currently carrying.
