About the Item
Jeremy Lepisto’s Crate Series represents: “goods that are unorderable, unreceivable or undeliverable.” The first way Lepisto accomplishes this is to make a paradoxical vessel. Suppose you had a shipping container constructed with glass like Lepisto’s crates? You would immediately find it to be extremely impractical. The container would quickly shattered in transit, (not to mention the huge weight of the glass making it immobile) and the goods contained exposed to the elements or spilled. The second way Lepisto creates the ‘undeliverable’ is to call into question what is being stored in the vessel: Lepisto’s crate series depicts drawings of wheat and mailboxes on the reverse side of the glass sheets he constructs. In this way he confuses the viewer with reflection and transparency, inside and out. Lepisto’s crates explore the psychologically disorienting effects of objects infront and behind planar surfaces which deconstructs the opposition of the terms. The precious and the disposable, the protector and the protected merge in the glass itself.

- Burnished Rose - Contemporary Original Tabletop Metal SculptureBy Atticus AdamsLocated in Los Angeles, CAAtticus Adams' organically composed modern metal sculptures embody the transformative power of contemporary art, illustrating the creation of beauty, meaning, and emotional impact from industrial materials. Using mostly aluminum mesh—generally found in screen doors, windows, and filters—he creates contemporary abstract sculptural artworks and installations, which resemble flowers, clouds, and other natural phenomena. Working in metal, Adams effortlessly transforms rigid material into airy, effervescent artworks. This 15-inch high by 10-inch wide by 8-inch deep tabletop sculpture is created with copper mesh, gesso, acrylic paint, rivets, and wire on a metal stand. Size and price include stand. Atticus works spontaneously, feeling his way toward the objects that take shape in his mind as he shapes them almost entirely by hand. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Atticus grew up in West Virginia, steeped in traditional folk art. Several members of his family are self-taught artists, deeply involved in such crafts as wood carving and quilting. His formal art training includes stints at Yale, Rhode Island School of Design, and Harvard’s School of Architecture. Atticus has fond summer memories of screened-in porches back home and screen doors that practically dissolved the barrier between inside and outside, allowing the warmth and nature to permeate each day. This association continues to resonate in his art. “Metal mesh is a beautiful, flexible material that allows you to explore shadow and transparency in endless ways,” he says. “The material lends itself to these biomorphic shapes, which aren’t necessarily intentional . . . The sculptures seem fragile but are actually quite resilient—like nature itself.” A well-known sculptor, the organically inspired artworks of Atticus Adams are held in public and private collections and are exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States.
