Neagoe Dragos (1974) - Arheology Sea
For decades, archaeologists have been finding objects made of gold, bronze or marble sculptures at the bottom of the oceans and seas. The sea acts mechanically and chemically, over a long period of time, on the surface of art objects, re-creating a new object with a much deeper sensitivity than the hand of man. The patience with which salt water, crustaceans, algae re-construct the shapes of the object is astonishing. I was fascinated to see in the new museums of the world, the new objects found in the sand of the depths that become much more "alive", more spiritual .I tried in all my work to create this technical artifice, in a much shorter time. The face work is one of my first works in which I approach this technique. The degradation of the face and the complete change of one half led to this special work .The so-called destroyed half is actually reconstructed by me from stones from the sea, of different sizes and thicknesses, according to the general shape of the ancient, Greek portrait. Why ancient? I wanted to be an archaeologist-sculptor who searches in the depths the sea, something unique, beautiful, special.After reassembling the component parts, I took a mold from the ground and poured into it the material composed of cement and marble dust with a little ocher oxide. This color is exactly the color of the limestone of the sea. I made the material thicker, so that it appears large and small holes, thus imitating rough limestone in places, polished in other areas, ground by time and sea salt..I hope you will be delighted with this success of mine, as I was when I produced it.The sculpture is applied to the wall with a thick wire hanger behind it.It is signed on the right side.
The work will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
