John Piet "Untitled" Abstract Geometric Steel

1974

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY "Blue Abstraction" is a blown-glass creation encased in steel. The captured organic lift of its shape belies the weight of its structure. The copper colored steel is a beautiful contrast to the deep cerulean blue of the glass and adds to the feel of sky and/or water seeming to give the piece a timeless flow.

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY "Cephalic" is a perfect example of what Kai means when he calls his work biomorphic. Biomorphic comes from combining the Greek words 'bios', meaning life, and 'morphe', meaning form. The term seems to have come into use around the 1930s to describe the imagery in the more abstract types of surrealist painting and sculpture particularly in the work of Joan Miró and Jean Arp. Kai achieves a compelling balance between abstract form and organic reference in "Lilly Pod". Kai Wolter; artist, object maker of Kaiwerx Studio, was born 1972 in Aspen, Colorado.
