Jaw, Daniel Cosentino, 2024, mixed media, 6 x 9 x 6 in. / 15.24 x 22.86 x 15.24 cm.
"Jaw" is an evocative piece that combines sharp, geometric shapes in a striking red hue with clear, flowing forms that simulate the fragility and strength of a biological jawbone. This sculpture is a study in contrasts—between the hard, angular edges of the red components and the soft, undulating curves of the transparent sections. This juxtaposition not only challenges the viewer's perception of materials but also symbolizes the dual nature of existence: robust yet vulnerable.
Spine, Daniel Cosentino, 2024, mixed media, 9 x 6 x 6 in. / 22.86 x 15.24 x 15.24 cm.
The "Spine" sculpture stands out with its vertical, dynamic composition, using vibrant orange elements intertwined with crystal-like structures to mimic the human spinal column. The choice of orange intensifies the visual impact, suggesting energy and movement, while the clear parts offer a glimpse into the delicate yet strong support system within. Cosentino masterfully captures the essence of support and flexibility inherent in a spine, emphasizing the balance between form and function.
Foot, Daniel Cosentino, 2024, mixed media, 6 x 9 x 6 in. / 15.24 x 22.86 x 15.24 cm.
In "Foot," Cosentino presents a fascinating amalgamation of pink geometric shapes and translucent details, creating an abstract representation of a human foot. The sculpture's pink tones range from soft to vivid, drawing attention to the diverse capabilities and stresses the foot endures. The transparent elements interlaced among the pink blocks seem to highlight the unseen pressures and supports that are integral yet often unnoticed, making a profound statement about hidden strength.
Daniel Cosentino's 2024 sculptures—“Jaw,” “Spine,” and “Foot”—are remarkable for their bold color schemes, complex constructions, and deep thematic expressions. Through these works, Cosentino invites viewers to delve deeper into the anatomy of both the human form and the materials he manipulates so skillfully. Each sculpture stands as a testament to his artistic vision, where the synthetic meets the organic in an unforgettable exploration of form and meaning.
