Lot Details
Stephen Woodward (NZ based international) 'Model I for Samothrace' Marble & stone 200 x 180mm. Provenance: From the Koula collection. Note: Sculptor Stephen Woodward’s practice is primarily interested in the political. Working with an eclectic range of media ranging from ceramics, bronze, stone and volcanic basalt, Woodward’s sculptures are subtly integrated into, rather than being starkly imposed onto, the landscape. He presents landscape and landforms as images to critique human nature; particularly the human need to overlay everything with notions of productivity, settlement and identity. Canadian-born, Woodward studied Fine Arts at Concordia University (Montreal, Canada). He began marble carving in Italy working alongside artisans tasked to scale up sculptures for artists including César Baldaccini, Barry Flanagan, Helaine Blumenfeld and Michelangelo Pistoletto. Since arriving in Aotearoa in 1986, Woodward has focussed on large-scale, site-specific sculptural works and has exhibited in public events such as Sculpture on the Gulf and Sculpture in the Gardens. He has exhibited in a range of exhibitions both nationally and internationally in China, Japan, Taiwan, Canada and New Caledonia.
