| "I always knew I wanted to create Ebony Visions'. As an artist who happens to be black, I had distinct ideas about what I would like to see in the line." The elegant compelling figurines he created for the collection are a blend of both Art Nouveau and African culture, which Thomas calls "Afro-Nouveau." - Thomas Blackshear |

Thomas Blackshear concludes The Virtues club series with the most
significant angel of all, Love. As she tenderly holds her small feathered
friend close to her heart, the angel reveals to us the essential nature of
this virtue for our very existence. It is stated in Corinthians 13:13. “And
now abideth faith, hope and love, these three. But the greatest of these is love."
Love is the third and final figure in the three-year Members Only series
called The Virtues, which celebrates the inspiring and vital spiritual
gifts: Faith, Hope and Love. BR>
Retired December 2007 with a final production quantity of 5,050.

"I always knew I wanted to create Ebony Visions'. As an artist who happens to be black, I had distinct ideas about what I would like to see in the line." The elegant compeling figurines he created for the collection are a blen of both Art Nouveau and African culture, which Thomas calls "Afro-Nouveau." - Thomas Blackshear .Thomas Blackshear introduced Ebony Visions in April 1995 with the release of the first six Ebony Visions designs, The Storyteller, The Protector, The Nurturer, Siblings, Madonna and Tender Touch. Since then, Thomas Blackshear has created many new designs to add to the Ebony Visions collection. Thomas Blackshear's Ebony Visions collection is a master work of romantic symbolism. As with his paintings, these sculptures demonstrate Thomas Blackshear's incredible sense of design, unique eclectic style, and extraordinary mastery of color. Elegant drapery and delicate detail tantalize the eye while revealing each sculpted form. Thomas Blackshear's Ebony Visions depicts a full range of emotions that are both powerful and at the same time subtle. He deliberately portrays his Ebony Visions figures in a timeless setting in order to transcend a specific time, place, or culture. This unique collection of limited edition figurines emphasizes the beauty of the human form and symbolizes universal aspirations and ideals of humankind depicted through images that reflect the unique characteristics of the African American culture. For centuries classical beauty has been portrayed predominantly by white artisans who represent white subjects in their art. In this romantic and subtle tour de force, Thomas Blackshear creates a new vision of beauty and human emotion, an Ebony Vision. |
