About the Item

This monumental aluminum sculpture 9 feet tall is a signature Dewart piece. Blue Gilead is painted a vibrant powder coat blue and the word Gilead derives from an African American spiritual. “There is a Balm in Gilead” is a song Murray’s family would sing at all their gatherings. The sculpture has an uplifting and celebratory gesture. The circle at the center is an emblem of the unity of creation, what the Buddhists sometimes call sunyata. Murray Dewart, a Massachusetts-based artist, describes his art “as a parable about landscape where I’m following a plow toward a far horizon.” Dewart has built large public sculptures around the country and in China, Israel and Peru. Dewart's first Gilead sculpture was done in the 1990's in wood and steel and is now in Israel. There is a bronze version ten feet tall that is installed on the campus Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester. Please Note: This piece cannot fit into a standard box or tube. This piece requires professional packing due to size, weight, fragility. Please contact us for details.
