“The Beth Carter is the very last of eight
[editions]...Most assuredly the last one
available, and the most valuable,” says
the gallery. The sculpture, Minotaur, is
that of an imposing, life-size minotaur, a
commanding presence in the room that
feels truly alive. The artist comments, “The
minotaur theme is one I’ve been working
with for over 20 years; the myth is close to
my heart and fi lled with personal symbols.”
Demato discusses Garel’s Crâne d’oiseau,
a haunting sculpture of an avian skull.
“Very rare and of wood and polychrome,
I had it hanging over a staircase, but it looks
so regal on the ground as well and o ers
varied and better viewing. Garel’s surreal
sculpture constantly encourages questions
and o ers intricate, subtle details—it capti-vates the viewer and consumes all interest
in any room.”
Moreno’s The Fragility of the Sea is a
bronze of a woman with swirling hair like
an ocean swell. “[It] is a multidimensional
sculpture cast in bronze, and each piece is
unique with one-of-a-kind hand-engraved
tattoos on the raw bronze, [which is then]
re-engraved once given the unique patina,”
says the gallery.
Sjögren created Wonder Woman in 2018,
made from Jesmonite and vintage Wonder
Woman comics. “[My dogs] sit or stand
nicely all day long; you can come and go as
you please without having to worry about
them. Now that is a ‘nice’ dog!” says Sjögren.
Collectors will find these and other
unique sculptures at RJD Gallery’s
December show. “We believe in the notion
that art is the fi ber that weaves our cultural
perspective,” says the gallery. “We search
for the diversity—it promotes thought,
introspection and the deep emotional
responses we all search for and crave.”RJD Gallery 2385 Main Street • Bridgehampton, NY
