Painful Art Sale Continues! (Please Read)

I am thankful that Icarus sold within a couple of hours of the post yesterday. I am still needing to generate some funds and so I am letting go of two more pieces. Honestly, if I come up with the funds before these sell, I will not continue to sell them at this price. Thanks for your patronage!

Baked Goods.

I was working part time for the St. Louis Bread Co. and was inspired to create "Baked Goods". It was made using reclaimed Styrofoam from the same construction site in Collinsville, IL that I used for several other works. Using a heat knife I carved the deign into the foam and finished it with concrete and acrylic. It is 2" x 22.75" x 35.25". I have it listed at $200, but will sell it for $75.

Vintage is a nod to the endurance of patriotism. This piece is acrylic and concrete on reclaimed Styrofoam from the same construction site as above. I used concrete and Styrofoam exclusivley for six months during a series I called "A Million Years in 180 Days." The piece is 2" x 60" x 24". I have it listed at $275, but will let it go for $125.

I hate to sell this work so inexpensively for so many reasons, but I would rather it hang in someone else's house and be able to meet my obligations, than hang on to it. Please contact me by email or phone if you are interested in either of these pieces. armando@heredia.ws or 618.971.0935. Thank you.

 

Icarus for Sale (Please Read)

Icarus is by far one of my most dramatic pieces from the "A Million Years in 180 Days" reclamation series. This relief sculpture was made using a large piece of reclaimed construction-grade Styrofoam that I salvaged from a construction site in Collinsville, IL.

The subject matter is from the fall of Icarus, a greek legend about the danger of pride. The piece will endure and will appreciate in value.

Principle tells me that I should price this piece at $1,500 and not budge, but reality and the monthly rent payment demand that I sell the piece. I will cry when I sell it, but I need $200 for rent and gas money for a show this weekend in Louisville, so I am letting it go for $300.

Icarus is 2" x 24" x 78" and is finished with concrete, acrylic and oils.

If you are interested in seeing the piece or purchasing it, please contact me at 618.971.0935 or armando@heredia.ws.
