Annie Morris’s Stack series of sculptures is renowned in the contemporary art world for its unique aesthetic of “fragile balance.” Stack 7, Ultramarine Blue, is a representative work of the series, featuring vertically arranged, staggered colorful spheres that create a visually striking effect. Arturban Sculpture Factory has used this annie morris statue for sale as a prototype to create custom-designed vertical stacked sphere sculptures, with both the spheres and the base materials customizable to capture the unique artistic essence of the original.
Who Is Annie Morris?
Annie Morris is a renowned contemporary British female artist, born in London in 1978. She is internationally acclaimed for her highly recognizable stacked sphere sculptures, drawings, and paintings. Her work is rooted in personal life experiences, drawing inspiration from reflections on life, loss, memory, and rebirth. Her work is frequently exhibited in international galleries in London, New York, and other cities, with her Stack series being her most iconic and representative masterpiece.
What Is The Stack Sculpture Series?
The Stack series is Annie Morris’s most core and famous sculpture series, and a classic representative of contemporary Totem Art. The original works consist of hand-sculpted plaster spheres painted with mineral pigments. These colorful spheres, varying in size and irregular in shape, are stacked vertically on a base.
Core Creative Concept: Precarious Balance. Visually, the string of colorful spheres suspended in mid-air creates a sense of tension, as if they might topple at any moment; however, thanks to the artist’s structural design, the whole remains stable. This paradox is the soul of the series, symbolizing the fleeting nature of beautiful things in life and the subtle interdependence between fragments of life.
Stack 7 is a piece in this series; the “Ultramarine Blue” in its name comes from the largest, deep blue sphere at the very top.
Our Factory Version of Annie Morris for Sale.
The client for this project is a high-end commercial art consultancy firm from Australia. They were commissioned to create an art installation for the lobby of a local boutique hotel and were drawn to Annie Morris’s classic Stack 7, Ultramarine Blue sculpture. The original plaster sculpture was too fragile for the long-term use of a public space. They searched extensively for factories to upgrade the material, aiming to balance the artistic beauty of the original with commercial durability. Ultimately, they chose to collaborate with our sculpture factory to customize this vertical stacked annie morris for sale.
This Stack 7, Ultramarine Blue replica sculpture features a vertically extending graphic shape, visually light yet structurally stable. Seven spheres of varying sizes and irregular shapes are stacked from top to bottom, with the largest ultramarine blue sphere at the top, followed by spheres in orange, cyan, bright red, lake blue, light purple, and warm yellow.
The spheres of this annie morris sculpture for sale retain the natural texture of hand-sculpted art, replicating the rustic feel of the original. A wood-grain stainless steel square column base supports the entire vertical sculpture. The rich and vibrant colors are layered and staggered, creating a visual tension that “seems precarious but is actually stable and balanced,” making it a highly recognizable contemporary abstract art installation.
How We Make This Annie Morris Stack Sculpture?
The bronze ball is made using the lost-wax casting process: first, a clay prototype is sculpted, a plaster mold is made, a wax model is created, then the ball is coated, dewaxed, and cast into shape. After polishing, it is painted. The base is made of stainless steel sheet cut and welded together.
