ORIGINAL OGNYAN CHITAKOV ARTWORK !!!

2023, "Comet Arend-Roland" - stone sculpture

This original andesite sculpture on granite stand is one of the latest artworks of the talented Bulgarian contemporary professional sculptor Ognyan Chitakov, deeply inspired by organic abstraction, postmodernism, abstract expressionism and astronomy science. It is a stunning abstract three dimensional form and an amazing elaborate carving in one solid piece of beautiful raw sandstone rock. The artist's concept is to create an unique spatial form with the help of extraordinary maze of carvings and details, both in order and disorder and leaving the feeling of lightness and outer space flight. The artwork is one amazing contemporary stone masterpiece and exquisite modern home décor. You can twist it by hand in both directions, as seen on the video.

"The stone material is alive and has a soul. I never ignore it and its gravity as well. I try to give each artwork the feeling of lightness." ... by the artist

Comet Arend-Roland, long-period comet remarkable for its anomalous second tail, which projected toward rather than away from the Sun. It was one of the brightest naked-eye comets of the 20th century. It was discovered photographically on the night of November 8–9, 1956, by Sylvain Arend and Georges Roland at the Royal Observatory, Uccle, Belgium. Its perihelion passage (i.e., its closest approach to the Sun) occurred on April 8, 1957, at a distance of only 0.316 astronomical units (AU; 47 million km, or 29 million miles) from the Sun, inside the orbit of Mercury. Because it was discovered months before perihelion, lengthy observations could be carried out. The anomalous tail, called an anti-tail, appeared for a few nights late in April, changing direction from night to night and appearing as a sharp spike aimed at the Sun. This was an effect of perspective, of viewing edgewise a fan of debris that was actually scattered behind the comet along its orbit.
