Swarming: Hand forged metal expression of a swarming shoal of fish, made by Cosé Manzano. This heavy sculpture was created during Cosé’s bigger swarming project, where he was studying the phenomenon of swarming animals, forming walls of living creatures, and how to eventually feature those in buildings and our environment. With this sculpture, representing a fragment of such a wall of swarming fish, Cosé Manzano tries to capture the whirling power of sea life. Cosé first cut all fish out of 5 mm thick steel. Then he put them in the fire and hammered and forged them into their particular curved shapes. And finally he welded them one by one in an upward swarming composition. The shape of the pedestal reflects the shoal fragment beautifully, giving an impression of the fish jumping from the water surface. The sculpture is sealed with a semi mat varnish to prevent it from oxidation. Swarming comes signed and dated.

Sculptors Cosé Manzano (Spain) and Anne Klein H. (the Netherlands) live and work in the South West of Spain. Both work in metal sculpture and installations. They established the KleinManzano art-collective in 2013 and their works can be found in collections in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the Unites States. Artist's Statements: Cosé Manzano: 'Direct metal sculpting like hammering, cutting and welding is my preferred technique. My raw material is metal bar or metal sheet which I intuitively shape, bend and hammer into figurative sculpture. But I can also be captured by a found object or synthetic material. I find inspiration in animals and the land that surrounds us, and also in architecture and contemporary art. In my current work I focus on skin ‘transported’ to metal, and on metrical shapes I see in nature. Although we don’t literally work together on the same art works, working together as KleinManzano reinforces my direction, inner sense and reference in art.' Anne Klein H.: 'I make sculpture in various techniques: metal sheet and mixed media assemblage, using wood, glass, ceramics, metal and leather, often with found or re-used pieces. My work can have a symbolic or surrealist tendency. I get inspiration from social and personal issues (like women and society, or living in a foreign country), but also materials inspire me, as do nature and architecture. To me KleinManzano is a very motivating way of finding reference and structure, stand together and get deeper into art.'
