PAUL J. NELSON (1970-) “Red Gong” Cast and Acid Etched Glass Sculpture
$695.00
This sculpture by contemporary artist Paul J. Nelson is crafted from cast and acid etched glass and depicts a creature-like abstract form wrapping lanky tendrils around a second, tubular structure; the blackened glass being illuminated by cindering tones of glowing red. Nelson, a graduate of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, draws inspiration from bizarre tools and everyday objects, his work juxtaposed by brooding dark comedy, epic fantasy, and a quest for depth in meaning. Resting in a slender stand steadied by a square base, this original sculpture is unsigned by the artist, but is affixed with a title sticker on its underside.

NICODEMUS POTTERY 3 Piece “Nativity” Set of Ceramic Figures
$495.00
This set of ceramic sculptures by Nicodemus Pottery consists of figures of Mary and Jesus, Joseph, and a lamb to tenderly depict a scene from the classic nativity story. A lasting figure in the Columbus art scene, Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) imbues gentle reverence onto the figures in this set, with each character bowing their heads in reverence or silently praying towards the newborn Christ child held in the Virgin Mary’s arms. Glazed in a glossy, translucent white, each figure in this set of ceramic sculptures is stamped with Nicodemus’ studio insignia along their underside, ensuring authenticity.
About the Artist:
Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) was a Columbus, Ohio potter, sculptor, and teacher known for his small clay birds, as well as other wildlife, teapots and pitchers. His pieces are recognizable as being produced with variously colored translucent glazes, which enhanced the redness of the high iron content of Ohio clay to create a russet brown undertone. Nicodemus earned a degree from Cleveland Art School and then went on to teach at Dayton Art School and Wittenberg College. In 1932, he became dean at the Columbus College of Art and Design and later taught at Ohio State University and served as president of the Columbus Art League. All of Nicodemus' molds and glazes were destroyed upon his death at his request.

Vintage CURTIS JERÉ Abstract Floral Wall Sculpture
$495.00
Fabricated from brass, this early sculpture by Curtis Jeré depicts a cacophony of abstracted floral designs that resemble waving cattails or perhaps some foreign marsh plant. Wall mounted, this sculpture’s patinated brass construction provides a beautifully industrial contrast to the stylized organic subject matter this piece of art presents. Perfect for the beginning or seasoned art collector, this sizable sculpture is signed and dated to 1968 by the artists.
About the Artist:
C. Jeré is a compound nom de plume of Jerry Fels and Curtis Freiler, two brother-in-laws. They were metalworking artists who focused on home accessories and wall sculptures. The works of C. Jeré were produced and marketed by Artisan House, an art production for the average consumer that was founded by the duo in 1963. Freiler was the chief of production and Fels was the chief of design. They employed a great number of minorities and handicapped people and at one point employed 300 people. They sold the company in 1972. Early C. Jeré works were produced in California, but continue to be made overseas since the company’s outsourcing in 2003. Freiler passed away in 2008, Fels in 2013 at 103 years old.

ELIZABETH PARKER “Comet” Foundry Bronze Grey Equine Bust on Mahogany
Named “Comet”, this foundry bronze bust of a horse has wonderful character with large, dark eyes. A grey patina has been applied with great contrast to the exposed bronze details. A mahogany plinth base steadies this sculpture.
About the Artist:
Elizabeth Parker is a contemporary sculptor who started her artistic career in painting. She experienced a major car accident in 2012, causing her a traumatic brain injury. On her road to recovery, her cousin gifted her some clay, and she began exercising her artistic talent in this new medium. She now primarily sculpts, taking months to create charismatic details in her sculptures, skillfully and without a reference. Once the sculpture is completed, she sends them to a foundry in Vermont, where the piece is cast in bronze with great detail. A patina is skillfully applied before the piece is mounted to its base.
