“Dash”

Bronze Turtle Sculpture

“Dash” named for the way the new born sea turtles dash into the ocean. The swirl designs represent the ocean currents. Polished bronze outlines his shell which is a red dye that allows the underlying metal to shine through.

John Maisano is fascinated by the artistic designs found in Celtic, African, Inuit and Tribal art which he incorporates into his sculptures. Each sculpture is inscribed with intricate designs derived from natural forms and structures. His sculptures range in size from treasures that can be held in the palm of one’s hand to larger-than-life monuments. His work focuses on graceful interpretations of animals shaped in a way that captures the life force of each animal and transforms it into something more.
