From the Rodin Portfolio – The Hand of God

The Hand of God – Rodin’s masterpiece carved in 1896.

Rodin felt that this sculpture was something akin to Michelangelo’s
painting of God and Adam on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. But for
Rodin it was more basic, more earthy, more to the point. It was
man emerging from the rock with God’s hand moulding Adam
and Eve into humanity.

In recreating this iconic sculpture, we have captured, we believe,
the integrity of the original, where Rodin expresses the presence
of God, whilst carefully moulding Adam and Eve in the palm of
the hand of the divine power.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Marble Icons are working closely with interior designers and architects on indoor and outdoor projects where hand carved statuary in pure marble and granite is being used.

Classical recreations in marble in particular are available from Marble Icons, to a quality not seen for generations. These pieces are viewed by specialists in interior design as being as relevant in spacious modern apartments as they are in hotels, yachts or the entrance halls or drawing rooms of country houses.

We are continually developing our range of classical and contemporaty marble statues and we can now undertake commissions for works from either existing designs or clients own concepts. Swimming pools, grand halls and conservatories a speciality.

If you require any further information about our work or you would like to commission a piece for private or corporate use, please Contact us.

THE ART OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

Marble Icons has set itself the goal of recreating, in perfect marble in white or many colours, or other valuable stone, the beautiful images which are at the core of the history of art.

Marble Icons choice of sculptures of the Greats is absolutely unique throughout the world ..…and we will work with clients who have specific requirements whether it be by size or material such as white, black or even green marble.

How do we achieve our goal of matching the original work without the help of casts from the original?

  • Firstly we research the original art held in museums in absolute detail.

  • Secondly we produce clay models equivalent in every detail to the original. This process is immensely time consuming as our specialists work towards perfection with the modeler.
  • We then identify the perfect block of marble which in the case of full sized or multiple figure statues might weigh several tonnes.
  • We then hew by hand from the raw marble, until the sculpture emerges to reprise the original work of art.

  • When the sculpture is considered as being as near perfect to the work of the piece in question, it is despatched to the buyer.

    • Marble Icons are currently working on their own original creations and soon these will become significant works of art in their own right.
