'Definitely Dali'
An exhibition of Dalí’s bronze statuary at the Chali-Rosso Art Gallery.
The sculptures showcased in the exhibition are part of the so called Dalí Sculpture Collection. The collection consists of 29 extraordinary sculptures, all carrying famous, recognizable symbols and well-known Dalí imagery.
These symbols appear throughout the artist’s oeuvre, on his paintings, drawings, lithographs, etchings and of course on his sculptures. Dalí’s art always plays on duality: Hard and Soft, Real and Unreal. While the Realistic aspect appeals to our rational understanding, the Unreal goes beyond that by invoking association and emotions on a deeper level. The sculptures are part of a limited edition of 350 and were created with the lost wax process. The flexibility of this process gave Dalí the freedom to morph his subjects into the most unusual forms and shapes.
