About the Item
Granite Sail - Abstract Wall Sculpture in Wood, Resin, and Aluminum
Whimsical and fluid abstract composition by Craig French (American, b. 1959). Cast resin, wood, and aluminum make up this sculpture, full of movement and dramatic lines. A granite-like shape is supported by two streaks in blue and wood. A line of aluminum swirls throughout the composition.
Signed and dated "C French 1999" on tip to the right.
Dimensions: 65"W x 41"H x 6"D (at widest and tallest points)
Craig French is a pop-Constructivist sculptor, whose brilliant, lyrical wall pieces have gained an international audience. Cast resins, acrylics, sheet metals, rare woods, and glass are laboriously cut, lathed, and polished into fanciful shapes - then joined and intertwined into arresting color-texture combinations.
The works conjure a multitude of Southern California moods and attitudes. From the freewheeling zest of beach boys to the contemplative aura of Asian meditation, each work speaks to a paradigm particularly rooted in the Pacific Rim. These multi-media works rest, dance, play, spin, and sing to create an abstract language inflected by many accents. Yet they all are unified by overarching themes of aesthetic optimism, joy, and a duty to fine craftsmanship.
Craig French is in the line of the pioneering Russian Constructivists of the early 20th century who sought to elevate the abstract language of machine-age forms into art works of deep social and spiritual significance. Within their output were the first abstract walls sculptures know to Modern art. Picasso, too, would take up the mode - though more playfully - further blurring the boundary between painting and sculpture. French's most contemporary predecessor in the field of abstract wall sculpture is the great Frank Stella whose wall works routinely fetch six figures and are found in major museums around the world.

"Sailing Off, " Abstract Stainless Steel Sculpture
Located in Westport, CT
This mid-sized abstract contemporary sculpture by artist Joe Sorge is made with stainless steel. The strips of steel that compose this piece have a curved, concave shape and a beautiful texture. The piece casts unique shadows on its surroundings. Please note that the white pedestal base pictured is not included.
Connecticut-based sculptor Joe Sorge studied at the School of Visual Art (SVA) in New York City. While Joe's body of work is most often made with stainless steel which he sometimes dyes to give the forms bold, solid colors, he also experiments with stone carving, genesa crystals, tiger eye alabaster and others. He works with a variety of colors, finishes, and textures, to create the final piece.
Joe's sculptures express the fluidity and tension inherent in the material he uses. His work draws on a modernist vocabulary to create abstract, often whimsical objects...

The Path - Abstract Geometric Form, Hand Painted Welded Steel Wall Sculpture
By Chris Hill
Located in Chicago, IL
This dynamic wall sculpture is created from sheets of steel, welded together in an abstract geometric pattern. Muted shades of blue, grey, purple and green dominate and are balanced by softer hues. While the work adheres to a rigid, rational geometry, this sculptures suggest lyrical movement, apparent weightlessness and improvisation as the title suggests.
