Sibyl, bronze sculpture

Mt Tsalapatanis, sculptor, bronze sculpture, contemporary art, fine art, sculpture. The favorite theme
Mt Tsalapatanis: the human figure, expressionism and meditative, it works by shaping the material volumes until the sculpture stands at the conquest of space. But whatever the theme mentioned by the artist, there is always that which contributes to overall expression throughout the body, not to mention the faces remain the source of strong language and very specific.
Forms and spirit.


I am following with interest for years the work of Marie-Therese Tsalapatanis. I remain amazed by both the constancy of his inspiration and renewed the variety of forms and techniques with which she designs. Women always. Women and the four elements: Earth, Air, the Sea-Fire is missing? No it burns the eyes, it reads in the tension that inhabits the figures Flame Elsewhere Watchers. Women still set up and conquering space (Butterfly, Flame, Offering), and offered generous maternity image of Mother Earth archaic (Maternity, Medea) siren bound for any journey of initiation (Figure 4, Naiad). They are all waiting and hoping. Dream too. In recent works Greece comeback that has never stopped living forms: forms coiled, sinuous, coiled (Figure curve, Eve). Topics proclaim Caryatid, Sphinx, and Medea curious figure whose massive hang clusters of children without a face that death will erase. The techniques have also changed, the chisel is more incisive, he sculpts in bronze of a flat-struck vigorously, with sharp angles that rejects labor, material decreases, it is discreet, as if she wanted to become pure spirit. Because it is really toward greater spirituality evolves the work that the artist continues with tenacity in the silence of his studio. On May 8.2011
