One Gross Face, opening on 12/12/12 at the James Gray Gallery at Bergamot Station,  Cope is  NOW "Sculpting for the Cure" and Teaming up with Susan G. Komen For the Cure. Karen has personally had close encounters with breast cancer as a close member of her family is a 1 year Cancer Survivor and another recently underwent a partial mastectomy and therefore is honored to be Sculpting for a Cure by exhbiting her art as well as fighting for everyone dealing with this disease.

Thus, 10% of all proceeds will be donated to The Susan G. Komen foundation.
In Honor of all Breast Cancer Survivors, 44 pieces of the 144 Sculptures  will also be coated in a Pink Silicone for all to come see, enjoy and TOUCH! During the 12/12/12 opening we will have the honor of getting to hear the story of Stefanie LaRue, a cancer survivor, at 7 pm.  So Come out and show your support! Get involved and go home with a unique and powerful Sculpture on 12/12/12!!!  Hope to see you all then~

The little girl catching rain drops on her tongue is my absolute favorite! Which one is your favorite? Comment below!

"As you flip thru these pages, I hope you will take note and be enticed that you are in essence being invited in to see and understand how I perceive these 144 unique souls captured in “One Gross Face”, 144 Sculptural Portraits… This Journey began many moons ago and slowly revealed itself in small increments. Note by note of clay, each sculpture has progressed in the purely additive “Drawing in Space” Method of Sculpting reminiscent of the old masters. Along the way, this body of work has morphed into a monumental study of humanity, individuals, and their nuances. One thing that was revealed to me was how thru their subtitles, the way a person holds themselves, a tilt of the head or through the crook of their mouth, one can capture a specific atmosphere or impression surrounding each visage. I invite you to not to just look, but to lean in and discover what it is like to See thru my eyes."

Currently I'm searching for 4 excellent locations to open this body of work at. It needs to be available for a 12/12/12 opening and requires a large wall to allow most of these works to emerge from the wall. The right location would have a lively atmosphere, good foot traffic, an well attended collector list, and a community that embraces sculpture. Contact Karen at Figurativesculptor@hotmail.com with ideas, links, pictures and suggestions.  Any Ideas are much appreciated.

Pre-Cast sales are an integral part of Collectors opportunity to acquire great sculptural works for a reduced price. Getting the mold made to cast a sculpture in bronze, teracotta, resin or plaster is a sizable investment for the sculptor.  Email Cope at Figurativesculptor@hotmail.com  for Pre-Cast Sales opportunites. Each Piece will be a Fine Art Limited Edition of 12, then the mold will be destroyed.
