- Lot Description
Theodore Gall (American, XX-XXI). Bronze on stone base. Signed "T. Gall" on bronze base. A remarkable metamorphic bronze sculpture by Ted Gall that is full of surprises. Created via the traditional lost wax process, this bronze presents three configurations. Initially, we see the head of an iguana with orchid blossoms adorning the back side which is populated by miniature figures. The iguana's head opens to reveal the visage of a man sporting a mohawk hairdo that resembles an avian form, with wings flanking his face. This visage lifts to reveal a fantastical miniature figural scene with a petite reptile donning a top hat and three even more petite human figures entertaining him. On the back of the head is another captivating scene featuring tiny figures climbing a mini staircase and others riding a mini iguana that crawls upon the oversized orchids. It's a feast for our imagination. In Gall's words, "I intend for my sculpture to be intriguing, both visually and psychologically, to draw your imagination into the pieces themselves, allowing you to come to your own conclusions." Size (open): 5.75" L x 8.5" W x 12.875" H (14.6 cm x 21.6 cm x 32.7 cm) Size (closed): 7.25" L x 5.5" W x 10.875" H (18.4 cm x 14 cm x 27.6 cm)
About the Artist: "Theodore T. Gall began his career in the arts in the mid-sixties as an animator for teaching films and continued to broaden his skills as a graphic designer. Gall has worked in metal since his early days as an artist. Although his work has not been limited to the human form, it has been his primary focus throughout his career. His compelling figures are most often placed in thought-provoking situations. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the American Academy of Art and has shared his expertise with students at the Clay People in Chicago, The Northshore Art League in Winnetka, Illinois, and the Ojai Art Center in Ojai, California. Gall has exhibited and garnered awards throughout the country and is acquiring a burgeoning international clientele." (Source: Artist's Website)
