| splash |
This is one of my favorite pieces of art. Fittingly named 'splash', has a selling price of $86,000. It is made of stainless steel and painted steel. Splash was on display, from 28th Oct - 14 Nov 2010 amongst the 14th annual Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi. This contemporary piece explores the dynamics of a moment in time.
Artist Tomas Misura arrived in Australia in 1999. He was born in Slovakia, 1979. He graduated from the School of Artistic Crafts in Bratislava as an artistic blacksmith. His has had exhibitions in Italy, Austria, Czech Republic and Sculpture by the Sea (2007).
When standing next to this magnificent sculpture you feel a great admiration for Misura. This larger than life sculpture sits at 350cm x 350cm x 450cm. It is simply remarkable up close.
Misura, who'd spent more than 1000 hours on the piece, took out the NAB Kids' Choice Award.
