Arabesque Sculpture

Cast patinade bronze sculpture made by artist itself. “…My approach to art is an ongoing process to learn from nature by adding, subtracting or changing of what already exists.” Distinctive bronze figures by Zoran Luka are inspired by human figure and its potential mobility. Their disproportionately long extremities and contracted torsos provide dynamic motion and new foreshorten perspective. The idea is to capture the movement rather than anatomy of a real body. Willow lines and abstract gestures impart to bronze figures their lightsome expression. Not the figure but the movement is sculptured. Most of the titles of “dancer series” are terms used in classical ballet. This is another strong source of Luka’s inspiration. Unique about Luka´s approach to sculpture is his devotion to craftsmanship. The whole process starting from sculpturing, molding and casting in bronze until last patinating is performed by artist himself. Zoran Luka has explored the craft of bronze casting with sculptor Pal Lakatos in Hungary 1999-2001. In 2000 Luka established foundry art workshop at Kirsten Kjærs Museum in Denmark. This is the place where he works on his sculptures. Accompanying his art Luka regulary holds bronze casting courses at his danish workshop, as well as annually bronze casting workshop on Long Island, US.
