Description from the seller

Gabor M Szoke
Flying puppy
2024

Made from steel and wood

Includes certification

(17,71 inches / 45 cm height x 15,74 inches / 40 cm length x 9,05 inches / 23 cm width)

An iconic piece in the Puli series by the artist known for his public sculptures around the world.
This Flying puppy is one of the newest pieces in the Puli series. Szoke’s first puli sculpture was monumental public piece which was made in 2013 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. This sculpture is a small-sized indoor version of the puli, made in the artist's characteristic style of welding many pieces of steel bar. The sculpture comes with a handcrafted wood base, with hand sign and plate sign.

“This sculpture, crafted from rebar and presented in black color, stands on a wooden base. My intention was to create a striking piece that combines industrial materials with a playful and lively aesthetic. The choice of rebar gives the sculpture a robust and contemporary feel, while the bright color adds a sense of joy and energy. The wooden base provides a natural contrast, grounding the piece and highlighting its unique form and texture. Through this work, I aim to evoke a sense of whimsy and appreciation for the interplay between materials and colors.”
