Ionel Talpazan (Romanian-American, b. 1955) flying saucer on candlestick sculpture, mixed media including paint and plaster over wood, painted metal, and plastic. Inscribed signature to underside and dated 1991 (New York). 7" H x 5 1/2" diameter. Note: Ionel Talpazan was born in Romania and raised in a foster home. As a child, he allegedly experienced the presence of a UFO. In 1987, he escaped Romania by swimming the Danube River and eventually emigrated to the United States as a political refugee. He now lives and works in New York, where his UFO experience informs many of his sculptures and drawings.
Some wear to metallic paint on candlestick shaft, overall very good condition.
