Mircea Milcovitch, a sculptor whose work I admire and have had the privilege of including in my life through my father’s own purchases of his amazing sculptures, and through oft ‘chance encounters’ in Parisian galleries, has had his work published in the second annual round up of nude sculpture, painting, art photography and installation.
Included as part of this little ‘sortie’ and exercise in promotion, my father has published the following text, describing the very nature of Milcovitch’s work:
The sculptures of Milcovitch express a sense of unique breath in modernity and tradition. Organically linked with a creative principle, his sculptures unveil the spirit ensconced in stone. While using sober forms in the creative process, the artist is guided by a basic rule: the conservation of the purest form, polished to the perfection that does justice to this noble stone – the Carrara marble.
He carries on:
From the “hermetic objects” of these primeval form to the anthropomorphic beauty of his “Memoires Antiques”, this work is devoid of any aesthetic vagaries and represents a natural extension of the best and greatest exploits of Modern Art.
I love the organic shapes and forms drawn out in stone from the nude form, sometimes overly apparent and other times lost in a disparate flow of angles. In some ways so geometric, undermining the natural shape and form from which pieces are inspired. It’s this kind of artwork that inspires me to dig in and get on with my own paintings, from the series I have started of Marilyn Monroe and of other works. Anyhow, if you want to see more of his work, head on over to Milcovitch’s website, it comes highly recommended.
