NEW SCULPTURE COMPLETED!!!

 

Nina just completed 

"A River Runs Through It" for a collector in Colorado.

The sculpture was commissioned as a gift for the collector's husband, who is a fly fisherman.

The title was borrowed from one of his favorite movies, "A River Runs Through It".

The sculpture measures 15 ½" high by 4 ft. of sculpted "river" in length.  

It incorporates an actual model of a fly fishing pole, as well as an authentic fly.

The angler is caught in the moment of hooking the fish, which is abstractly in the shape of a heart.

The stones were collected from the "Frying Pan" - the collector's husband's favorite river. 

New Commissioned Sculpture

The last couple of weeks Nina has been working on a commissioned sculpture of a fly fisherman. It is called "A River Runs Through It" (which is the favorite movie of the collector's husband).

Countless hours of detailing to perfection and the sculpture is well on it's way to being completed.

We are so excited about this new piece in Nina's collection that we are sharing some pictures of the process. This is the piece in clay before it gets sent out to the foundry for the wax and mold making and the casting process.

TAMPA BAY MAGAZINE ARTICLE

NEWEST SCULPTURE

My recently completed sculpture, "Liberté".
This bronze piece was Inspired by the French national anthem “Le Marseillaise”.

Through the ages, conflicts have been waged through bloody battles on the fields and shores of distant nations.

We now need to win the fight within ourselves.

The sanguine patina on this angel (sanguine – blood red – from the French word “blood”) is an aesthetic symbol for the heart and life force within us.

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK

This week I wanted to share the story behind my sculpture, "The Little Mermaid", because not only was the 5 ft. version of this piece selected for the Great Lakes Bay Region "Fall In Art and Sol" solar art exhibition, but I also just sold this piece at 22 in. to a collector in Hawaii for his pool area.

When my daughter was very young, we went to Copenhagen. While there, we visited Carl Jacobsen's famous sculpture of The Little Mermaid on the rocky shores of the city. I wanted to create my own, unique version of this classic piece. Cast in bronze and on a base of coral, "The Little Mermaid" has more attitude than most as she surveys the world with total calm.

PUBLIC SOLAR ART

I just won the Great Lakes Bay Region's "Fall In Art and Sol" solar public art competition! My sculpture, "The Little Mermaid", will be exhibited in Michigan from September 28th - October 31st.

The heart can be cast in bronze or glass, and is hand-engraved in any two languages. Inspired by a beautiful love poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning: "I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you."

SCULPTURE INSPIRATION

I was always incredibly inspired by the old comic strip, "Little Nemo in Slumberland".

Little Nemo is a fictional character created by American cartoonist Winsor McCay. Nemo appeared in McCay's weekly comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland, which ran from 1905 - 1926.

The original set-up of the comic revolved around the nightly dreams of a little boy named Nemo (meaning "nobody" in Latin). The purpose of his early dreams was to reach 'Slumberland', the realm of King Morpheus, who wanted him as a playmate for his daughter, Princess Camille. The last panel in each strip was always one of Nemo waking up, usually in or near his bed, and often being scolded (or comforted) by one of the grownups of the household after crying out in his sleep and waking them. In the earliest strips, the dream event that woke him up would always be some mishap or disaster that seemed about to lead to serious injury or death, such as being crushed by giant mushrooms, being turned into a monkey, falling from a bridge being held up by slaves, or gaining 90 years in age. Later on, when Nemo finally did reach Slumberland, he was constantly being woken up by Flip, a character who originally wore a hat that had 'Wake Up' written on it. Flip would go on to be one of the comic's seminal characters. Other notable recurring characters included: Dr. Pill, The Imp, the Candy Kid and Santa Claus as well as the Princess and King Morpheus.

Although a comic strip, it was far from a simple children's fantasy; it was often dark, surreal, threatening, and even violent. The "Slumberland" of the title soon acquired a double meaning, referring not only to Morpheus's fairy kingdom, but to the state of sleep itself: Nemo would have dream-adventures in other imaginary lands, on the Moon and Mars, and in our own "real" world, made fantastic by the dream-state.

 The beautiful illustrations inspired when I was an illustrator myself, and still inspire me today, while making my sculpture. I have a large book of Little Nemo in Slumberland comic strips in one of my offices at my home and studio in Florida. following are some samples of art from the comic:

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK

This week I wanted to share the inspiration for my sculpture, "Angel de la Vida". First cast in bronze, I then patina her with fire and chemicals and create subtle nuances with metallic powders and waxes, filling her robes with the colors and passions of life. Throughout art history, angels are frequently depicted in heaven above the clouds. I brought the clouds into her drapery and attached her to a steel circle, giving the illusion that she is floating above the material universe. She can be commissioned in any size. To see all of my sculptures in 360 degrees, please visit my website: www.ninawinters.com.

Pictures

There are more to come, but here is the first image from the National Sculpture Society's 80th Annual Exhibition opening at the Tampa Museum of Art. Here I am with my piece, "The Galactic Samurai" (center). Many more photos to come!

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK

This week, I wanted to share the story behind a piece that my gallery in Maui sold today, "Above it All".

Rene Auberjonois is an actor (“Odo” in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) who owned land with me in the woods of New Hampshire. He used to draw happy little figures that, later on, inspired me to draw a girl dancing on top of a blue sphere. Here she is in bronze on a stainless steel sphere, above the earth, the universe, her own universe.
