TYPOE - Bronze Editions

PRIMARY and DIE FORM STUDIOS present the BRONZE EDITIONS—a limited-edition set of twenty-five bronze sculptures realized through four arrangements by the Miami-based artist TYPOE.

These limited edition sculptures expand upon Typoe's symbolic vocabulary, taking permanent shape in bronze, executed through a lost wax process, and finished with black patina.

Various custom building blocks make up the artist's studio, each block contributing to Typoe's distinct language. In the spirit of endless combinations, these works are constantly in flux, built up only to be broken down until they have reached a final form.

Taking cue from Friedrich Fröbel and Bauhaus' Naef Toys, these stacked DIE FORMS pointedly reference the history of building blocks as groundbreaking educational tools that sought to foster the life-affirming creative instinct in children.

"Typoe designs and refines his pictorial icons with great care to find the right balance between visual impact, clarity, and depth of meaning."

The blocks have been integral tools for many generations of prominent artists, architects, designers, and creative thinkers. These sculptures resonate with children and adults alike, encouraging play and creativity while incorporating symbolism—skulls and ravens—that acknowledges life's challenges.
