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.
