Bronze Octopus Table by Isaac Krauss and Alex Friend |
One of the artists, Alex Friend, says of the piece:
"This is the finished bronze octopus, modeled off the blue ring octopus, my friend (Isaac Krauss) and I worked on. He came up with the concept and sculpted the body of the octopus and I came in to help with the wax work and welding. The glass tabletop sits level on top of the legs. Welding the legs to hold the glass tabletop was a very rewarding and challenging process. I've certainly improved my TIG welding skills a lot because of my work on this octopus. An interesting thing about this sculpture is that the eyes are hand blown glass. are curious the table is still for sale."

Wow, seriously good.
ReplyDeleteThe number of hours that they put into this piece was staggering. It is probably a bargain at the price they are asking!
