This week’s Highlight of the week of our current exhibition ‘Machu Picchu to Marrakech’ has been selected by Penny Rushton, Interior Designer for Quadrant Design.

The work is #5 Ross MILLER, Piazza San Marco, 1991, Bronze, 47 x 16 x 7 cm, $1,100 – SOLD
Although this work has sold Ross Miller is happy to accept commissions.

I have selected this work because of the joy it conjures each time I look at it. This work has the ability to transform and come to life with the passing light of each day.

The figures stand, as if admiring the view from a platform atop a bold flattened structure, suggestive of architectural forms etched into its surface.

A delicate steeple towers over, enhanced by the dimension of shadow projected against the wall from which the piece hangs. The tiny figures capture the play of light and shadow, illuminating the scene and creating a living, moving narrative with which the viewer can engage.



The exhibition is current until Saturday 29 March 2014

This week’s Highlight of the week has been selected by Tony Jackson, director of Quadrant Design Architects from our current exhibition ‘Machu Picchu to Marrakech’.

The work is # 33 Moroccan Walls with Figure. Bronze and Cement Fondu
Width 50cm x Height 58cm x Depth 22cm $1400.00

Tony Jackson says:
‘What stands out about this work for me, is the strong architectural and theatrical elements.

There is a strong presentation of the beautiful bronze figure standing boldly in front of soaring architectural elements. The figure is gazing skywards, and I want to share his gaze into the unknown.

The drama of the Moroccan architecture behind the figure is wonderfully accurate in detail, with its tall chimney columns, small windows and indentations in the apparently mud brick surface, a beautiful patina has been achieved on the surface giving authenticity to the work. The shadows created by the geometry of the work give power to the forms and accentuate the scale against the bronze figure.

I feel that I can really walk into this sculpture and experience its weight, presence and form.
This work epitomizes much of Ross Miller’s inherent skills and his marvellous artistic eye.

The exhibition is current until Saturday, 29 March 2014.

Our first Work of the Week from our current exhibition "Machu Picchu to Marrakech", sculptures by Ross Miller as chosen by the gallery director Pam Jackson is:

 #22 ‘Machu Picchu 1’ (Bronze and Cement Fondue, Width 21cm x Height 48cm x Depth 21cm, $1200)

‘I have selected this work for its strength and delicacy. The strength displayed by the bold wedge shaped block is perfectly counterbalanced by the delicate architectural sculpture sitting on top of the block. The proportions of this work represent the strength of the earth along with the fragile yet enduring architecture which has been created by ancient civilizations. The combination of simplicity and complexity is beautifully balanced in this work – the intricate bronze sculpture sits on top of the bold simple cement fondue block like a beautiful adornment, the two parts complement and enhance each other. It’s timeless.’

The exhibition is current until Saturday, 29 March 2014.
