About The Artwork

'Inside and Outside' started with an already hollow chestnut tree trunk. The organic shapes invited to develop it. Things fell into place after being turned into a horizontal position and I custom made a wooden plinth for it. Some of my hollow tree trunks turned into tables - one of which can be seen in the background and in the additional photos. Btw. one of my photos shows Yoshka, one of my RABBITS who lived inside an ancient hollow bog oak tree trunk. Yoshka emptied it further and was happy in his home. More of my art has been inspired by the work of rabbits, you may check out these listings just below this one: "The Fall / The Man / The Rise / The Feast"; https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Printmaking-The-Fall-The-Man-The-Rise-The-Feast-Limited-Edition-4-of-40/385342/3470434/view - also: "Listening One and Watchman"; https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Sculpture-Listening-One-and-Watchman/385342/3196320/view# - equally there is a relationship with this more recent conceptual work "Oa51s_homageCYF" https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Printmaking-Oa51s-homageCYF-Concept-3-of-17/385342/3820291/view - in discussing SPACE. The thought provoking title 'Inside and Outside' appeared after the piece was finished. The sculpture and the plinth are both treated with bees wax. The plinth has small ('invisible') wheels, so the sculpture can be moved around easily. Approx. measures of the sculpture in cm: 72 x 44 x 51, the plinth: 58 x 42 x 83 (L x W x H), the wooden stand in between plinth and sculpture adding 4 cm and the wheels add about half a cm. Besides meaning, great aesthetics and the nature that you bring into your living space - this sculpture has a very smooth finish - it is nice touching it. Most of the photos were taken in 2006, four years after its making. Since then it was rarely exhibited and stored away safely - please note the photos that show the present condition of the plinth. As with all of my works you will receive a certificate of authenticity.

London-based artist works with found objects, printed ready-mades as well as wood and bronze sculptures. Samuel Buttner exhibits internationally, has received awards and commissions for art in public spaces, and his work is held in both private and public collections. 'Remembering how my drawings as an eight-year-old received much attention, then opportunities for training during my teenage years leading to an education of professional wood sculptor. During my mid-twenties that enigmatic pull into social work with creativity for children and engagement in the special educational needs sector. The sculptor, printmaker and conceptual artist is grounded in life drawing, anatomical studies, and plein air painting. Much of the above would befriend me with Vincent van Gogh, valuing that eye-brain-hand-coordination for authentic, ecstatic expressiveness. Being equally aware how the subconscious gets visualized where it has been said that positive stimuli is evident as well as an artist philosopher, hence resonating with the like Marcel Duchamp exploring that limitless creativity-of-the-mind; that which is outside the box.'
