MELTING PARIS
The Melting Paris series combines natures’ radiance
with organic shapes in a contemporary style by
employing a raw surface of bronze. Recognizable
shapes are restyled to achieve their own look.
In contrast with today’s mass production, Pieter
Adam wants his designs to show his personal touch
and signature. This is clearly visible in the Melting
Paris series where each piece is handcrafted in
wax literally showing the artists’ finger prints.
When looking at a Melting piece one can see the
organic, unrestricted shape; nothing is straight or
smooth. These pieces are characteristic of detail
and achievement. The possibilities bronze casting
offers are being employed in all its facets.
The freedom of creativity and inspiration is
ultimately found in creating something by just using
your hands. It is the purest way of designing. Away
from all mass produced items and searching for the
authentic craftsmanship only traditional craftsmen
can achieve. Sustainable, with love for his craft and
the end product, a Melting Paris piece truly gives a
peek in the artist’s head.
