About A Cappella

This lyrical and elegant contemporary sculpture is by David Chamberlain whose work is collected and admired around the world. Hand forged in patinated bronze and steel, the flowing circular form is intended to represent the fluid, melodic form of singing called a cappella. The American artist is also a gifted a cappella singer (singing without musical accompaniment) who has performed in hundreds of concerts over the years.

Priced in USD, and can also be commissioned in the following scales: .75x (45 inches in height) at $85,900, 1.25x (75in h) at $145,000, 1.5x (90in h) at $175,000, 2x (120in h) at $229,000, and 2.5x (150in h) at $287,500.

As a little boy, Chamberlain recalls sitting in the back of his father’s car singing nursery rhymes with him in harmony. From an early age, he understood the power of the human voice—its range and rhythm and how it could be used as an instrument. A gifted jazz musician as well, Chamberlain’s artwork is largely inspired by the lush language of music and each piece bears a musical name.

“My muse in creating this bronze sculpture titled A Cappella was to explore, articulate and integrate the moving musical lines (edges) and transitioning forms (surfaces) within a three-dimensional composition. What appears to viewers as three or four interwoven musical themes moving together through time & space can become multiple motifs when the artwork is rotated — Ahhh, the fourth dimension of time. And now for the emotional aspects…” David Chamberlain
