“Grace”

Bronze Giraffe Sculpture

Grace is a perfect name for the beautiful flowing lines of the giraffe. The left legs are put together almost as one, divided only by a fine line. The eye travels up the form via this tripod stance and moves the energy of the piece through the body, to the head, and out through the leaf she is nibbling.

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.
