June 2024 will see the unveiling of a series of new statues and paintings at the much awaited NAG Art Gallery Show in Pietrasanta in Tuscany. Months in the making, I've organized for your perusal the photos and videos of the sculptures and the process.

A key step in bronze art creation is to pull a wax version from the mold. The wax is then adjusted for an accurate match to the original sculpture, which in this case was created in clay.

Finished at-last (non pun here) so I will let the pictures tell the story. The world and Atlas are bronze with a natural gold and black patina. The column is a steel H beam naturally rusted with a matt finish
Discussion on the rust finish; Atlas ready for mounting and the final setting.
The large sculpture of Atlas will grace the entrance of the gallery along with a companion sculpture. No glimpses of her yet, she is waiting on show-time!
