About the Item
The graceful flight of two birds is captured in this stunningly elegant contemporary sculpture by Amos Robinson. The American artist hand forged this kinetic piece from stainless steel. Two birds-wings outstretched, (each birds wingspan is 12”), are attached to three separate curved pieces that sit on top of a tall, slender post. As the ‘silver’ birds fly, (they move independently with the wind) sunlight reflects off the highly polished surface engaging the landscape and the viewer. The effect is simply mesmerizing. Robinson is fascinated with the idea of motion and most of his work is made from stainless steel.
“I use both figurative and abstract elements in my sculptures. My work often incorporates recognizable forms, but strict representation is not my primary objective. My foremost goal is the expression of a feeling or state of mind.” Amos Robinson
Born in New York City, Steven Edward Robinson (Amos is a nickname) is a self-taught artist. In an earlier career, Robinson did metal work developing industrial equipment. A lifelong interest in restoring classic cars and motorcycles also helped hone his mechanical skills. Since he began creating kinetic sculptures in 2005, he has completed almost fifty public art installations. His work is also held in private collections worldwide including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Europe, Australia and China.
This is a wind-activated kinetic sculpture. Each kinetic feature atop the 94" pedestal has a full 360° range of motion and moves independently in response to changes in air currents. Baseplate is 18” x 18” x ¼”.
