Local Sculptor Authorized by Jimi Hendrix Foundation to Create a Custom Piece For The Foundations Fundraising Campaign
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Hotel 110
(see times)
Local (Sand City, California) figurative sculptor known for his works with modern edges, Karl Schaefer, has been authorized by the Jimi Hendrix Foundation to create a custom sculpture that the Foundation will use to raise funds to improve the quality of life for all children and inspire creativity in the arts and sciences.
As Jimi said: “When the Power of Love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
The sculpture being created and donated by Schaefer to the Jimi Hendrix Foundation, is a bas relief of Jimi Hendrix's face and hair at 1.25 scale that has been fashioned to hang and will be cast in bronze. The wax study for the sculpture will be unveiled on Wednesday, June 18th at an art reception on the rooftop of Hotel 1110 in Monterey.
Artist Statement: “I believe that this age of man (Jimi Hendrix) is significantly different from those that were memorialized by sculpture in the past. My vision is to commemorate the style, energy and shape of my generation's faces to avoid our passing into obscurity.”
