SUMMARY:Public/Private
DESCRIPTION:Academy Art Museum \nSebastian Martorana (American\, b. 1981) creates masterful sculptural vignettes of public and private life out of the timeless medium of marble. Carving highly realistic yet unlikely textures such as those of an old mattress\, a teddy bear\, or the pages of a book out of stone\, Martorana comments on sociopolitical realities and the human condition in his work. The stoic\, classical appearance of marble connects his subjects to a social and artistic legacy that has been more hegemonic than welcoming for millennia\, and Martorana wittily questions this through his focus on intimate subjects: Kermit the Frog’s unwavering eye contact with the viewer is a playful reflection on childish attachment\, while a plush sheep evokes the human need for comfort. In his contrasting works depicting objects pertaining to public life\, such as marble benches that will activate the Museum’s courtyard during the exhibition\, Martorana explores the power and possibilities of community. \nMartorana received his BFA in illustration from Syracuse University\, where he also studied sculpture\, including a semester in Italy. After graduating he became a full-time apprentice in a stone shop outside Washington\, D.C. He received his MFA at the Maryland Institute College of Art’s Rinehart School of Sculpture. Martorana is currently an adjunct professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art. \nMartorana’s works have received numerous awards and are included in various private and public collections. His sculpture Impressions was featured in the exhibition “40 Under 40: Craft Futures\,” at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The sculpture was acquired by the museum and is now part of their permanent collection.

SUMMARY:BUSTED: Contemporary Sculpture Busts
DESCRIPTION:BUSTED: Contemporary Sculpture Busts\, showcases this ancient sculpture genre as radically transformed by 21st-century artists. Throughout history\, sculpted busts have served to commemorate and preserve the likeness of distinguished individuals\, and to celebrate divinity or nobility. In recent years the bust format has experienced a revival among contemporary artists\, as they’ve found it a compelling means to address issues tied to identity\, mortality\, power\, and history. Featuring work in diverse materials—from marble to fabric—and made by artists from various cultural backgrounds\, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on vital questions in art history and human representation. Together these sculpture busts demonstrate the continued vitality of figural art as a means of addressing both timeless concerns and the most pressing issues of today.
