Unique Welded Steel Sculpture Howard Lewis - "Forced Divide" 2018

About the Item

Unique Welded Steel Sculpture Howard Lewis - "Forced Divide" 2018 This abstract metal sculpture by Howard Lewis is made from a solid bar of recycled steel. It has been cut, shaped, polished and "carved" with abrasives and intense heat revealing a variety of textures both on the surface and the interior. Since it's made from solid steel it is heavy for its size and has a commanding presence. The base is also solid steel. The influence for this piece was from war images of destroyed buildings but the message is for peace. Total weight of sculpture and base is 29lbs. Size is approximately 22inches by 9 inches. The artist signature is etched with a year on the underside of the of the sculpture. Documentation will be provided by the artist. "I’m fascinated by archeology and geologic time spans so I try to create sculpture that reflects not only our current time and emotions, but also can convey a sense of time on a grander scale. I do this by adding another dimension that alludes to slow decay or growth. The very act of manipulating steel is primitive and historical; using heat to cut, bend and fuse is thousands of years old. And I sense that primal element when I’m working. Inspired by objects that have endured natural forces over eons such as dinosaur bones, volcanic rock and stone-age tools I’m challenged to shape the metal into something that connotes powerful forces, inspires reflection and encourages one to reach out and touch." Howard Lewis About Howard Lewis Howard Lewis sculpts in steel, shaping metal at times as if it were clay. He’s known for working in thick, heavy metals that offer a medium to reflect the powerful forces expressed, creating objects that stand the test of time.
