About the Item
Minimalist, abstract geometric standing sculpture in dark brown oxidized steel
"Some Guy #2" by Joe Wheaton, made in 2005
oxidized steel, 80 x 17.5 x 15 inches
Freestanding sculpture with stable base
Artist signature and date is located on the base
Joe Wheaton’s unique sculptural designs welded from dark, oxidized brass or brilliant silver steel showcase a contradictory set of relationships; “beautiful yet menacing, “threatening yet delicate” as described by the artist. Wheaton builds his metal compositions using a language of strokes and patterns. Geometric spears, disks and quadrangles alternate with wispy, sharp edged lines that trail off quietly to an undefined point. This visual sweep can be likened to the art of calligraphy, echoing the artist’s interest in early Asian arts and ceramics, as well as printmaking.
This freestanding abstract sculpture is a perfect example of Wheaton's aesthetic. The piece stands 80 inches tall, lending a figurative, almost human like form. The oxidized steel gives it a chic, dark brown finish. The artist's signature is located on the bottom base in black marker.
Artist Statement:
Familiar yet strange, beautiful yet menacing, threatening yet delicate. Reaching and solid, my work traverses many contradictions. As in life, beautiful lines have sharp edges, precarious forms balance with great certainty yet are vulnerable to nature's menacing ways. I am interested in using recognizable materials and relationships in configurations that will serve to re-evaluate how one perceives what might at first seem obvious. Dark forms stand in front of their ever-changing shadows. Lines motion and engage, but are like life, elusive and mysterious.
