About the Item

"Vessel #50: Basin" Wall-hung abstract sculpture from Jeff Key's 90+ piece 'Vessel Series'. Constructed from wood. Born and raised in San Francisco, Jeff Key has focused his work as a sculptor, digital media artist, and writer over the past thirty plus years on theories of evolution, with allegorical and metaphorical references to the past, present, and future. Key, who received an M.F.A from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1972, also has a B.A. in Communications and Public Policy from the University of California at Berkeley. His work illustrates his concerns with anthropology, sociology, psychology and political and physical sciences. Although abstract in nature, Key's work makes allusion to the vessel -- a cross-cultural, and at times totemic form, which represents human presence and the cycle of life. The pieces are primarily constructed with wood and flax, a natural plant fiber. There are over 95pieces in the 'Vessel Series' to date. Key plans to publish a book when he completes the 100th vessel.

composition 19 - Original Abstract Wood Sculpture
Located in Boston, MA
composition 19 21.0 x 72.0 x 3.0, 20.0 lbs Wood Founder's stamp Artist's Commentary: "Wood wall sculpture. This piece is based on a style I made for the Health Partners' Behavioral Science Building in St. Paul, MN. I work with wood like a painter works with oils and a sculptor with stone. From a distance, lines, shapes, contours and shadows are easily seen but when you move from side to side, the change in perspective alters the image like the features of a face when it turns. If a light source moves, shadows in the piece move with it like the sun moving across a landscape. As you approach the piece, shallow contours appear like swells on a lake and intricate patterns emerge. You can't help but touch the smooth flowing surface to feel the highly finished solid wood. The furniture grade modified tung oil allows that. It also makes my art easy to clean if necessary. The lines and shapes in my art are the natural colors of solid wood joined along curves. No inlays, veneers, dyes or stains are used." About the Artist: Marc Lamm is a self-taught wood-artist who has been art since 1973. In 1996, he began developing techniques which he uses in his art. In 2011, he began making wood-wall-sculptures and has pieces in Mayo...
