Jeff Glode Wise
"Cloud Fish #2" indoor kinetic sculpture

2010

About the Item

A fantastic fish made from hand-formed bronze scales with 24K gold plate! The scales hover over a dark, polished concrete base, delicately waving and glistening in the lightest breeze. The sculpture is displayed here on the artist's "Bongo Base," detailed in the last two images. "Bongo Base" is available but sold separately, please inquire for details. Please watch the short video to see "Cloud Fish #2" in action! Jeff Glode Wise makes wildly exuberant sculptures. He utilizes such diverse materials as steel, wood, stone, glass, concrete, bronze, and gold -- whichever is the most appropriate for the aesthetic and functional purposes at hand. He then transforms these materials through various techniques and crafts honed for years through his practice of jewelry making: welding, carving, casting, meticulous fitting, plating, etc. Art and the making of objects have defined Jeff Wise’s entire life. His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions throughout the US, and in Spain and Germany, and can be found in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institute National Museum of American Art, Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Museum of Art and Design in New York City, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art in Denver, Colorado. In addition to his purely sculptural work, architecture has long been of parallel interest. He has built three significant art homes and received commissions for architectural landscaping projects in cast concrete, welded steel, and glass.

  • "Moonlight" unique bronze sculpture
    By Gerard Tsutakawa
    Located in Glen Ellen, CA
    Many of Gerard Tsutakawa’s home-sized sculptures, and some of his public ones, have a geometric window that allows the viewer to go through and beyond the form. In “Moonlight,” this small circle becomes the moon and one can go through its phases simply by moving from side to side, the highly polished edges of the circle’s edges mimicking delicate moonlight peering through the night of the dark patina surrounding it. "Moonlight" is finely hand-crafted in fabricated bronze, as opposed to cast, and is therefore one-of-a-kind rather than an edition. Finished with the artist’s rich, dark patina with bluish tinges and a polished inner circle. Gerard Tsutakawa’s designs are a confluence of the cultures and traditions of the Pacific Rim. Tsutakawa grew up with a rich heritage of Japanese design creativity and sensibility combined with a lifetime spent in the Pacific Northwest’s beautiful natural environment. Exposure to the esthetics of cultures around the Pacific Rim instilled a humanistic approach to his creative process. He gathers images as bold as a Tongan war club, or as sensitive as folded origami paper, and creates a subliminal integration as a new art form.   Tsutakawa apprenticed with his father, the late George Tsutakawa...
