The creation of renowned French-American multimedia artist and sculptor Pascal Giacomini, Giaco Guitars™ sculptures are uniquely playable works of art highly prized for both their musical and artistic merits. Technically, they are hybrid oil-can, solid body electric guitars.
This spectacular item, “Vynila, The Queen of Blues,” incorporates one of Giacomini’s original guitar sculptures into a much larger work of 3-dimensional art that celebrates the legacy of blues and rock music in a strikingly imaginative figure.
The sculpture is structured to resemble a regal figure, a queen, adorned in a “gown” crafted from layers of vinyl records. Each record is stacked circularly, forming a layered skirt that represents the depth and timelessness of musical history. Metallic discs above the vinyl skirt add a reflective quality, catching light and bringing an element of modernity and shine to the piece. Draped within the records is a shimmering blue-green fabric that adds a sense of movement and elegance, evoking the emotive power of the blues genre.
The torso of the figure is fashioned from a guitar neck, crowned with a mix of cello halves that form shoulders or wings, adding a symphonic quality to the figure. Hanging embellishments from beaded elements accentuate the sculpture, suggesting jewelry or adornments fit for a musical “queen.”
The headpiece of the sculpture is a Giaco Guitar—the Sunoco Guitar (01/100)—featuring a vintage oil can from the 1940s that ties in a classic blues theme and reinforces the idea of an homage to the past. The overall sculpture is a fusion of musical artifacts transformed into a powerful, iconic figure that celebrates the soulful and timeless essence of blues and rock music, embodying the spirit of a “Queen of Blues.”
