“THE GUARDIANS”
PROTECT ALL THAT IS
SACRED WITHIN
His second phase, entitled “The Guardians”,
shows that he is now secure as an artist,
while the figures represent a protector in
his life – both personally and in his home.
From coming out of a difficult time in, the
artist has found stability. This balance is
important. Pugliese’s bronze ‘Guardians’ are
tall, rounded and weigh several hundred
pounds. They are armed to the teeth and
appear as arresting and reassuring gods of
the occult. According to the sculptor, they
are protectors that guard all that is sacred
within us.
