STORIES UNTOLD resonate in the bronzes of sculptor Ron van Delden. The son of Dutch parents raised on the banks of the Amstel River in Amsterdam, he is heir to artistic traditions from both families.
ARCHETYPES encoded in the human psyche inspire Ron’s themes. “These primal axioms - reason, ethics, metaphysics - are the lodestar to our purpose. And the spark of divinity that gives us direct knowledge of them is intuition. It’s the arcanum that makes base life meaningful.”
METAPHYSICAL REALISM is the result. And each piece is a visual feast. “Beauty captivates our hearts, but complexity engages our minds. Our native aesthetic intelligence demands visual sophistication. Elaborate artworks, like acquired tastes, are the ones that retain our interest.”
THE ANCIENT ART of lost wax casting, little changed since the Bronze Age, is Ron’s method for creating these works. |
