About the Item
The piece touches on themes of inner struggle, personal challenges and
transformation, serving as a subtle allegory for periods of deep sadness.
It reflects the journey of a woman, the designer’s sister, who becomes a
restless, isolated figure, blending human and serpent elements.
The pieces are part of the MMXV Bestiary project, which reflects on forms
of contemporary “monstrosity” emerging within a climate of uncertainty and
social disorientation. Inspired by lived experiences, the artist developed semifictional narratives that interlace complex emotional states with ancient myths of innocents transformed into monsters. Within this bestiary, mythical figures intersect with their modern counterparts, both influenced by circumstances perceived as binding and difficult to escape. Their stories overlap: claws subtly merging with contemporary symbols, tails aligning with calming remedies. Each piece embodies one of these hybrid narratives, with clay, like myth, transcending time and reflecting emotions suspended between resilience and fragility.
The Gems was part of the performance Exhibition "The Theater of Things" the show transformed the gallery into a domestic stage — an ever-evolving space shaped by the creative voices of seven designers. Each night, one of them slept in the space. Each morning, a journalist, curator, or critic joined for coffee and conversation — exploring what it means to live among collectible pieces.
Inspired by radical gestures like Gianni Pettena’s La Casa all’Elba and Joseph Beuys’ Coyote performance, the exhibition is both lived experience and open dialogue.
Unique piece.

Hybrid 15 - Figurative Abstract Wall Sculpture Enamel Bronze Artwork
By Jennyfer Stratman
Located in Los Angeles, CA
There is a metaphorical interplay between the natural imagery international artist, Jennyfer Stratman, uses and its multiple meanings. While the human figure features strongly, it is the essence of the body that is important to her, not the representation. Particularly, the artist imagines trees and branches as a figurative link between the natural environment and our physical presence. The implied internal landscape of the body can also be reflected in how our surroundings from birth affect our sense of identity. By exploring landscapes of the body and mind, she also hopes to comment on the larger picture of our impact on the natural world.
This bronze and enameled sculpture is meant to be installed as a wall hanging that sits 2 inches away from the wall. As displayed, this sculpture measures 8.5 inches high and 17.5 inches wide. It is signed by Stratman on the front and back. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Stratman grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1992 she commenced her studies at Arizona State University majoring in visual arts and art education. Stratman entered academia as a ceramicist. With each passing semester, the scale of her creations expanded and the material limitations of working with clay ultimately led her to the university foundry. This opened a door into another world of creative possibilities, profoundly changing her artistic direction. She replaced fired clay with larger-scale bronze, steel, and mixed media sculptures yet retained a delicacy, intimacy, and intricacy imbued from the ceramic process.
Today she is a full-time established artist with studios operating in Phoenix, Arizona and Melbourne, Australia. Her time is divided between the two countries with each location informing and influencing the creative process. She has exhibited in 31 solo exhibitions and over 100 group exhibitions nationally and internationally. Her indoor and outdoor sculptures are held in public and private collections in countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Israel, England, and Europe.
