The title of this unique sculpture by Michael Quane is "Tourus Bouyancy". Made from Bordiglio marble this year it is from his much anticipated solo show 'Belonging' at Solomon Gallery in Dublin until October 19. His work is immensely tactile -- not least because of his method of tooling the surface with a claw chisel which delivers a textured result, "Tourus Bouyancy" will look familer to many people because numerous public sculptures by Michael Quane are to be found in various locations around Ireland. The Crawford graduate was elected a member of Aosdana in 1998, has be an RHA since 2004 and is one of Ireland's most highly regarded contemporary sculptors.
