Fred Klingelhofer
Bad Moon Ascending, Abstract Steel Sculpture, 2020

2020

About the Item

Artist Commentary: Bad Moon Ascending is a result of a lyric in the CCR song "Bad Moon Rising", the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and my sculptural pursuits of my "Event" series. Keywords: abstract, welded metal Artist Biography: Fred Klingelhofer, a primarily self-taught artist, grew up in a Chicago south side neighborhood. He received a BS degree in physics from Roosevelt University and worked as an engineer for 30 years. During those years he enrolled in art workshops and classes at a nearby community college completing courses in figure drawing, 2D and 3D design, ceramics, sculpting the figure, welding and metal sculpture. His focus has been on creating sculpture since 2006. Fred has exhibited his sculpture in a number of group exhibitions with Chicago Sculpture International, Art Prize (Grand Rapids, Michigan), Sculpture in the Park (St Charles, Illinois), Sculpture Walk Sioux Falls (Sioux Falls, South Dakota), and has completed a number of public commissions. He strives to engage the casual observer as well as sculpture enthusiast by varying the degree of abstraction and realism giving even small sculpture an architectural presence that can be entered and explored. Fred’s personal history influences how he creates pieces. The viewer’s personal history will determine how they engage and give meaning to the work.

All That Remains, Abstract Sculpture (Ceramic and Steel), 2020
By Fred Klingelhofer
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary: I constructed this piece from the setters I used to fire the ceramic pieces of another sculpture along with some of the glaze test tiles. When I saw these "scraps" sitting together there was a visual harmony that suggested a new use for them.
