Meticulously decoupaged with vivid Kente cloth-inspired patterned paper in green, yellow, purple, and black, the piece draws on the visual language of African royalty, movement, and diasporic heritage. Gold accents highlight the horns, hooves, and tail, while a vintage floral brooch with a luminous center stone rests on the shoulder, transforming brute force into sacred adornment. Interpretation: The title riffs on the idiom “a bull in a china shop,” reclaiming chaos as a creative force. Instead of destruction, the bull’s entry into a space of delicacy and sparkle results in transformation. Here, power is cloaked in culture, masculinity is crowned with femininity, and capitalist iconography is reframed through diasporic craft. Themes: Afrofuturist satire Diasporic elegance Pop cultural remix Strength adorned with beauty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/9c8a725b-6bac-49ce-8ea4-0fa53eb34b2d/Bull+in+a+Jewelry+Shop+%282023%29.2.jpeg Current Works - Mixed Media Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/3051e194-604b-49ac-870a-32bf5fdfde69/IMG_0883+%281%29.jpeg Current Works - Mixed Media Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/1755052128666-9TMZZRPFDMZ26LNEG94Q/Golden%2BGiraffe%2B%25282024%2529%2Btight%2Bshot.jpg Current Works - Mixed Media Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/53ba48c8-b33d-4a32-8ceb-d09891b31eb5/Golden+Giraffe+%282024%29+facial+closeup.jpeg Current Works - Mixed Media Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/ad0b8da1-f446-4922-a3cf-838dfea41922/IMG_0889+%282%29.jpeg Current Works - Mixed Media Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/edf10f89-fe09-4d77-9a19-5619c66305cf/Lucky+Elephant+in+Gold+and+vintage+broohe+front.jpeg Current Works - Mixed Media Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/76b2263a-08fc-4072-92e3-9baafc7057b1/Lucky+Elephant+in+Gold+and+vintage+broohe.jpeg Current Works - Mixed Media Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/87c6e5f7-1783-45c0-8bf3-16949ba490e8/IMG_0843.jpeg Current Works - Mixed Media Sculpture https://www.vincentdionstringer.com/currentworks/project-five-jkmzy-daml6 monthly 0.5 2026-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/961dad37-7133-48f9-870d-3225116c5919/Chalice+I+above.jpeg Current Works - Decoupage Art Title: Chalice I Artist: Vincent Dion Stringer Medium: Mixed Media Sculpture Materials: Reconstructed ceramic bowl, candleholder stem, brass base; gold and silver leaf; Adinkra symbols; textile inlay (red, black, and metallic motif) Description for Collectors: Chalice I is a one-of-a-kind altar sculpture that reclaims a broken everyday object and exalts it through art. After a favorite ceramic bowl shattered, the artist salvaged its pieces and combined them with a candleholder and brass platform to form a ceremonial chalice—rich in symbolism and resilience. Inside the bowl are hand-rendered Adinkra symbols from Ghana, each selected for its spiritual resonance: Sankofa (“Return and fetch it”) — honoring ancestral wisdom Duafe (“Wooden comb”) — nurturing and feminine care Eban (“Fence”) — safety and security in the home Nkyinkyim (“Twisting path”) — resilience and life’s journey Sesa Wo Suban (“Change your character”) — renewal and transformation Gye Nyame (“Except for God”) — the supremacy and mystery of the Divine The outer form is adorned with textile patterns in red, black, and gold, creating an elegant contrast of earth and fire. More than sculpture, Chalice I is a narrative object—bridging utility, memory, and the sacred. It’s ideal for collectors who value African diasporic art, spiritual symbolism, and the beauty of reassembled form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/053d26b3-3b5b-44e4-b16a-35ed271f080e/Chalice+I+angle+2.jpeg Current Works - Decoupage Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/d2944977-e954-4743-bda0-f870663cf932/Chalice+I+closeup.jpeg Current Works - Decoupage Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/1c424670-0ca2-49b3-be6e-0799dee2dc76/Chalice+II+above.jpeg Current Works - Decoupage Art Title: Chalice II Artist: Vincent Dion Stringer Medium: Mixed Media Sculpture Materials: Reclaimed ceramic bowl, gold-leafed stem, decoupage paper (interior and exterior), multi-layer varnish, mandala, and botanical motifs Description: Chalice II is a ceremonial object of vibrancy and grounded elegance. Built from reclaimed materials and elevated through process and vision, this mixed-media sculpture serves as a meditation on sacred ecology, growth, and continuity. The interior features hand-placed botanical decoupage that forms a Tree of Life, layered atop glowing patches of gold leaf. At the bowl’s center is a kaleidoscopic mandala—symbolizing balance, wholeness, and inner vision. The exterior is wrapped in black and white herringbone decoupage paper, referencing African textile design. The surface was finished over fifteen days with carefully applied layers of varnish, resulting in a subtle luster and tactile durability. Rising on a gold-leafed pedestal stem, the chalice evokes ritual objects from both temple and home altar traditions. It is ideal for collectors of spiritual folk art, African diasporic symbolism, or contemporary reliquaries. Chalice II invites the viewer to hold space for growth, reflection, and rooted beauty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/5b791433-5819-44b4-bd63-69e855d9fd27/Chalice+II.jpeg Current Works - Decoupage Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/54745cd5-05af-49b8-b23f-1538df87f97d/Square+Vase.jpeg Current Works - Decoupage Art Title: The Bloom of Becoming Vincent Dion Stringer Mixed Media on Glass | 2024 Reverse decoupage, dotwork, archival images, rhinestones, gold leaf, varnish The Bloom of Becoming is a one-of-a-kind glass vessel, hand-adorned with vibrant collage and finished with a high-gloss varnish cured over 15 days. Using the process of reverse decoupage, floral patterns were applied to the exterior base to create a luminous interior garden effect. At the bottom of the vase is a golden butterfly—symbolizing transformation, rebirth, and the beauty of one’s true self. The front features a central Black figure, haloed by a rainbow of rhinestone and dotwork detailing, and clothed in floral forms that resemble butterfly wings. The sides include photographic torsos of classical Black sculptures framed in gold, accented by herringbone and distressed gold leaf details. This vessel can be used as a decorative object or spiritual altar piece—celebrating joy, identity, and emergence. Ideal for collectors of Afrocentric, queer, or spiritually charged art objects that blend ancestral reverence with contemporary design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/62c99d8c-2869-480c-b867-8214cc66e904/Square+Vase+back.jpeg Current Works - Decoupage Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/5cb53687-4aa2-494d-b9f3-10f1d4ffadd5/Square+Vase+inside+.jpeg Current Works - Decoupage Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/387c7025-41fb-4a80-8e94-0d1c8fbce9fb/Square+Vase+right+side.jpeg Current Works - Decoupage Art https://www.vincentdionstringer.com/currentworks/project-four-yjynj-k59fn monthly 0.5 2026-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/6f2abdad-fef0-45a9-b440-a79ff049e218/Vintage+Liz+Clairborne+Brooche+.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/107da658-62b2-476c-b2ad-f48d3300366f/Head+in+the+Clouds.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/852e2e9e-dbf0-4722-b0e3-fb7633927c9c/Signs+and+Symbols+Bottle+Art.jpeg https://www.vincentdionstringer.com/currentworks/project-three-8zgh7-mn4ls monthly 0.5 2026-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6898ce5f8363e027a1280b33/1791726592081-MHGE2K2EKC13X2TUN89X/IMG_8124.png Current Works - "Art The Sacred Thread" "On Purpose" Multimedia on canvas, 30" x 40", framed (2016).
