Between 2014 and
2015, Jobson Figueiredo held the second restoration (the first was made in
2008) of Francisco Brennand Sculpture Park, located at the jetty in front of
the Marco Zero, Recife. The park has dozens of bronze sculptures, numerous
sculptures in ceramic, coated ceramic towers and the Coluna de Cristal (Crystal
Column), as the center of attention. All parts have been properly restored
obeying the specific techniques for each material, a lot of ceramic had to be
replaced because the salt, sun and wind in this region punish Brennand pieces like
nowhere else.
In the image gallery above you can see a bit of the great work done for months.
In addition to restoring the entire park, also made part of this contract the
production of a new piece of art, the Serpente
Marinha (Sea Serpent), with more than 20 meters long to be inaugurated. You can
see the part of the casting process by clicking here.
