VICTORY: A VISION OF HEALING ON COAST TO COAST ART TOUR

Victory is the artistic expression of Steve Farland’s vision to spread healing. With Master Builder/Artist Brian Sartor, the soldiers were brought to life limb by limb, foot by foot.

7 Artistic Sculptures crafted from various chair parts and up to 27 feet tall!

Broken Pieces, Victory. is a vision of humanity where all the people fit and the smallest pieces are as important as the large ones, Una faccia, Una Razza -One Face, One Race. 

There is only us here on earth and we need each other and art and love are the most valuable commodities. Pieces for Peace !

Here are some pictures from the Artexpo NYC 18 and ArtSanDiego where I put out corner blocks which are used for strengthening the chair legs and are the smallest part of a chair and asked people to write a message to humanity and place them on the sculpture called Humanity where it is reaching out to the Creator. Steve Farland

VICTORY

In its second breath of life, Steve and Brian now take " Victory" on a coast-to-coast tour. Their updated soldiers have been given new powers and armor to spread his wish for mending the universe. Now you, too, can find peace and healing with help from Victory.

After you get over that initial shock... then you move into the genius of it... fashioned into these gigantic totems that make the world stand up and be counted, they make us look.

This is a metaphor that says there is a solution to the world problems we have... these broken pieces can be fixed and repaired and formulated into a whole recognizable body.

That's what's so powerful about this exhibit.

DOCUMENTARY: THE MAN WHO MADE DETROIT BEAUTIFUL: APRIL 22 @ MASONIC TEMPLE

With close to 600 commissions in his job book, Parducci’s work is still almost unknown. He came to Detroit in 1924 at the urging of Albert Kahn – one of Detroit’s most prolific architects – with the intent to only stay for two months. Fortunately for Detroit, he ended up staying for the rest of his life and left his fingerprints on countless commercial buildings, private homes, churches and schools.
