Michael Warren
FETISH, 2005
Estimate:
€4,000 - €6,000
Michael Warren, b.1950
FETISH (2005)
33 ½" high (85cm), signed with initials, edition of 6, Bronze Art stamp
Michael Warren works in bronze, timber, stone, steel and concrete. An artisan's love of material and technique is combined with a keen comprehension of Western philosophy. Always stripping things to the essential; the simplest form revealing enormous potency.
He elected as a member of Aosdana in 1981 and as a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 2008, with significant decorations and honours from many other countries' governments and universities. He has created some of the most challenging public sculpture of the last decades. Warren has made large-scale sculptures in Andorra, Ecuador, England, France, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Morocco, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Taiwan, United States of America and the West Indies. His work is included in important collections worldwide. He is represented in Dublin by Hillsboro Fine Art.
"There is always a metaphysical preoccupation at its heart… In Warren's basic language of form, the twin axes, horizontal and vertical, and physical forces and pressures, are the stage on which the drama of being is played out. A striving, upward momentum, a pull to earth, a tearing apart and a concentrated though tenuous presence: all figure in pieces that refer to being and embodiment in tragic terms of struggle and redemption." - Aidan Dunne
