Cedar and mahogany sculpture, 'The Woman and the Condor'

EDGUBI

Dec 6, 2023

Exqusite and dynamic!

Product picture

I have a lot of folk art, including a number of other pieces from John Barrow, and I am mostly only interested in depictions of animals, plants, and geometric forms, not humans. However the colors of the women's dress, combined with the condor, make this one of only a handful of pieces I have in my collection depicting humans, and I am extremely happy with it! One thing I realized I especially love about this piece is the dynamism that comes from having the condor sticking out away from the piece's center of gravity.

Wood sculpture, 'Tree in Winter'

A beautiful sculpture for my home.

I fell in love with this tree the moment I pulled it gently from the shipping container. The picture on Novica does not due it justice. John states that he is a perfectionist about his art and I think he attained it with this piece. It reminded me of winter in Minnesota where I grew up when the first robin of spring shows up and we know the long winter is almost over. I am over the moon about this piece and will treasure it for the rest of my life. It cheers me up every time I look at it.
