Artist Statement for Frank Egan

I have created timeless, classical bronze oil lamps that portray 1000 years of Mediterranean vessels of light. My Greek, Roman and North African Bronze Oil Lamps depict my interpretation of existing artifacts found in various archaeological museums throughout the world. Each is an original, sculpted in wax and cast in bronze by the lost wax method.

Most lamps from 300 BC to 700 AD were made from clay. I have chosen to honor the original artists by casting these lamps in bronze to give them a permanence and beauty that only bronze can impart.

Please visit my website for more historical information on ancient lighting and extensive links to the ancient world.
