Description
Limited Series of 30*
This cast is numbered 2

Bronze via sand-casting
It's possible to commission the work in other materials as well as other forms of cropping and base-attachment.

This work was sculpted from nature after a live model.
It was created first in the round using water based clay – the current fragment was cast from the full piece. The larger forms observed on this distinctive person's face were etched slowly into the wet clay, and later each of the features was delicately developed in wax. As the casting process used here has its own limitations, certain parts of the Masque had to be rendered abstract.
This cast was finished exclusively by the artist using traditional and modern methods and tooling.

Signature hand-engraved by artist at the base.
Artist reserve the right to make other casts in any other materials.

Ships in a wooden box (listing weight includes the box weight).
Please inquire for accurate shipping costs and timetables.
Feel free to ask for more photos, information about the work etc.

*The term "Series" indicates that while no more than 30 casts will be produced (in any alloy/metal), it's also possible that the series will be terminated sooner, with the total number of copies being substantially lower.

Presentation

Ohad Ben-Ayala, b.1981 .

Lives and works in his studio in Tel-Aviv.

The sculptures presented on this profile reflect a decade of exploring bronze and other non ferrous metals as sculptural materials.

All of the works shown here at the moment were roughed out and modeled first (from nature or an invention) using another material – mostly water based clay or soft bee-wax. 

Either way, more than one aspect of each work was always left unfinished, so it could be later resolved in the final metal it was cast in, and thus giving the metal more meaning than just a casting material.

This method was meant to find some middle way between the desire to create a single, unique and individual art piece – and at the same time develop multiple other versions, with all the possibilities offered by casting and re-casting each sculpture in different materials.

Traditional methods of chasing and repousse were combined with electric and pneumatic grinding, polishing, welding and soldering.  

Various bronze alloys, aluminum and sometimes brass were cast using both sand casting and lost wax casting methods. With the founder's role limited to pouring the molten metal - Each sculpture is resolved and finished by the artist's own hands.
