Sculpture, with its ability to transform a room, offers a dynamic element to interior design that few other art forms can match. Whether you are a seasoned art collector or just beginning to explore the world of fine art, incorporating sculpture into your home can create a captivating focal point and infuse your space with personality and depth.
Recently, we’ve had the pleasure of installing pieces by Matt Devine, Gil Bruvel, Anke, and jd Hansen in several client homes, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. Let’s explore how these artists’ works can inspire and enhance your living spaces.
Matt Devine, 1984 #13
Devine masterfully welds metal forms together, creating compositions that embrace both harmony and chaos, and often appear as light as paper.
1984 #13 was crafted from steel and powdercoated in a vibrant magenta hue that works perfectly with this client’s jewel toned sofa and colorful Parish Kohanim photograph. Inspired by the always-tangled cassette tapes of the 1980s, the twisting lines give the space a fun energy and cast dynamic shadows that move throughout the day.

Gil Bruvel, Explorer
Bruvel’s striking piece, with its intricate mosaic of painted wood forming a serene face, adds a focal point of tranquility and contemplation within this space designed by Dan Proctor of Kirk Designs.
The sculpture is strategically placed on a dark, elegant console table beneath a large window, allowing natural light to highlight the meticulous craftsmanship and subtle color gradients of the piece. The interplay between light and shadow brings the sculpture to life, enhancing its textural richness and the depth of its form.

Anke, Golden Girl
In this installation, a stunning sculpture by Anke takes center stage in a living room designed by Galiani Design Group. The piece, a beautifully crafted white horse, stands proudly atop a glass table, commanding attention and adding a sense of grace and dynamism to the room. Golden Girl, with its refined form and pristine white finish, harmonizes with the room’s rustic yet sophisticated aesthetic.
Anke’s piece not only enhances the room’s but also introduces a narrative element, inviting viewers to engage with the art on a deeper level.
jd Hansen, Das Spiel
Hansen’s Das Spiel graces this elegant space with an ethereal, inspiring presence. Positioned in a bright corner near a large window, the sculpture benefits from an abundance of natural light, which accentuates its pearlized finish and smooth, flowing lines.
Das Spiel, which translates to The Game, captures a sense of play and contemplation, its abstract figure holding a delicate sphere made of copper. The translucent pedestal adds to the artwork’s floating, almost otherworldly quality, allowing the sculpture to command attention without overwhelming the space. The subtle sheen of the curtains and the soft, reflective surfaces of the furnishings enhance the sculpture’s presence, creating a harmonious blend of light and texture.
