“Athena” Athena was known in ancient Greece as the Goddess of Wisdom and War. She was beautiful, courageous, inspirational and known for being the protector of the city. Using all her accolades, I created Athena as a guardian of nature, one that can over see all aspects of her surrounding environmental conditions. Although she is in a fragmented state, this bronze sculpture illustrates the hardships of changes to the natural world that have occur

Type of Chemicals Used in Bronze Restoration

7/3/2015 11:18:52 AM

Hi, I was wondering what are the different types of chemicals you use for bronze restoration? I recently saw your video on a professional bronze statue restoration project, with the statue Anne. Also, how long did a project such as that take? Would the time change based on the size of the piece being restored?

How Long Does Bronze Restoration Last

7/3/2015 11:35:53 AM

I’m looking into getting a small bronze statue I have on my porch restored to its original colour. I bought it about 5 years ago, and now it is completely covered in green patina. How long does the restoration usually last before it starts to deteriorate again?

A Professional Bronze Statue Restoration Project

6/17/2015 9:59:20 AM

Conservation projects like "Anne” begin with a thorough assessment process by a qualified conservator. These activities focus on the collection of prior reports on the artwork, photographic documentation, discussions with the artist (if possible) and owner, examination of the structural integrity of the statue and testing of potential treatments. Many conservators follow a simple 4 step process to survey an outdoor sculpture such

Bronze Restoration: The Deterioration Process and Useful General Care Guidelines

6/11/2015 10:41:44 AM

Bronze restoration and conservation is both a science and an art. Understanding the environmental conditions an outdoor artwork is exposed to is like checking the weather before going out on a blustery winter’s morning. We research the conditions, prepare and plan, and then execute effectively; or we pay the price in some way. While bronze sculptures are certainly more resilient than our human bodies, they are exposed 24 hours

Bronze Sculptor

2/18/2015 3:13:29 PM

A bronze sculptor is an artist that works with a medium that has the ethereal ability to convey meaning unlike any other sculpture materials. Creating a bronze sculpture is highly skilled work and it is an absolute necessity that the artist be knowledgeable of all the techniques required, extremely meticulous, attentive to detail and patient. Bronze, the most popular metal for cast metal sculpture, has been used since antiquity. The

Bronze Artist - Age of Bronze

2/18/2015 3:11:43 PM

Canadian artist Brett Davis uses bronze as his material of choice for several reasons. Bronze has been recognized as a noble metal. Bronze has been regarded for its longevity and durability (especially outdoors), the structural properties it possesses and the extensive repertoire of patina colours that complement the form and enhance the descriptive nature of each sculpture. The Bronze Age Bronze is a metal alloy that consists

Custom Bronze Sculpture

2/18/2015 3:07:22 PM

In the art world, a commission describes the hiring and payment for the creation of a custom art piece, whether it be by a person, a corporation or government. There are numerous reasons why custom bronze sculpture is commissioned. For governments, it may be for the development and support of the country’s art scene, or to commemorate an important historic event. For example, in 2003, the ‘Lloydtown Rebel’ by Canadian artist Brett Davis w

Public Sculpture

2/18/2015 3:05:41 PM

The purpose of public sculpture is to create a work of art that is on display for everyone to view. It should convey a meaning or association and be perfectly integrated within in its surroundings. True artists understand this purpose and, when commissioned for such works, seek to create pieces that are not only site-specific, but also inclusive of the beauty of the medium being used. Canadian bronze sculptor Brett Davis is

The definition of an artist is wide-ranging and covers a broad spectrum of activities inclusive of forming, practicing or demonstrating a creative work. The word "art,” derived from the Latin "ars," means "skill, method, technique, or craft," is understood not in the functional aspect of the object created, but in its beauty. During the Middle Ages, the idea of the artist already existed in some European countries, but the meaning was somet

Bronze Arts - Age of Bronze

2/18/2015 2:55:17 PM

The bronze arts are a clearly-defined spectrum within the world of art. For example, bronze sculptures can be found throughout the world in public and corporate settings as well as private collections. Bronze sculptors know that virtually any space can be brought together by site-specific pieces that capture and utilize the theme of the entire area, presenting it to viewers with an ease that is both visually stunning and thought-provoking.

Bronze Art - Age of Bronze

2/18/2015 2:53:22 PM

Bronze art is one of the most commanding presences in the world. To look upon a bronze sculpture by a true master in the discipline is to immediately divine the intent behind the piece; to appreciate its association both as an individual work and as it is interpreted by its surroundings. The unique colour and texture of the bronze art speaks to the subconscious in a way that other art forms do not. Purchasing or commissioning a wor

The work of Canadian sculptors is an institution in Canada. For those looking to purchase or commission a sculpture, there are many points of consideration that should be taken into account, such as; Location – where will the sculpture be located and what type of elements will it need to endure? Material – both the durability of the material and the ability of the material to convey meaning should be endured. Logistics – how big will
