The self-styled 'Afro-Nouveau' artistry of Thomas Blackshear has garnered praise from collectors worldwide. Now. for the first time. Lenox is issuing an original Thomas Blackshear sculpture to be cast in Lenox fine china. In Ascent Into Glory. the artist depicts the rapturous moment when a heavenly warrior is drawn back to the light of the Lord. Masterful sculpting heightens the intensity of this scene - the angels body is rigid. the muscles taunt. Yet the face possesses a remarkable serenity.
