Tourus Buoyancy is the title of this unique sculpture by Michael Quane. Made this year from Bordiglio marble 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 Buoyancy will look familiar 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 been an RHA since 2004 and is one of Ireland’s most highly regarded contemporary sculptors.
