About the Item
Steel, gold leaf, enamel paint, varnish.
Richard Taylor says of his "Golden" sculpture series: "Gold is light, knowledge, power, sanctity, treasure, the sun, the glow around an icon, or the flicker behind candles in a sacred space. Gold is loaded with significance. I gilded figures atop 4 indoor sculptures in a new series paying tribute to those among us who do good deeds for others, and go unrecognized. They might care for elders in their family or work at food banks. In current times, they might work in a hospital or with the homeless. They are Golden."
Richard Taylor describes his work as a distillation of life experiences, often seen through the influences of music and poetry, with the cadences, rhythms, and syncopation resonating within and informing the spirits of his pieces. Much of Taylor's work happens in series, allowing him to pursue various ideas from multiple angles as he creates a group of work that explores several variations on a single theme. He is a sculptor, and also a painter, and his painted standing sculptures fall somewhere between painting and sculpture. Time plays a very essential part in his work, as they are not so much about the details of the past as they are about the essence of our remaining memories. Taylor explains, "The painted standing sculptures recall those people in my life who have shaped my character and sculpted my being through their actions, examples, and spirits. They are my sentinels; my guideposts in my walk through life."
Taylor's work has been shown in galleries throughout the United States for over 30 years. He has created site-specific commissions for numerous public and corporate projects including Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN; Kaiser Hospitals in California; Milwaukee Public Central Library; U.S. Robotics in Chicago, IL; the City of Beaverton, OR; City of East Lansing, MI; Hardy Ivy Park for the City of Atlanta, GA; and General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, WI. His work is also held in prestigious public collections including Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Neiman Marcus, Visa, Hewlett-Packard, and the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Milwaukee, and Green Bay.

"Cryptic Voyage" outdoor sculpture
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
This surreal suspended sculpture in painted steel hangs from a wire to enliven any outdoor space. The large white mouth in the center blows bright pink birds into the air while a white figure seen in profile is jumping off a diving board on the other side. Quite a happy cacophony of forms in this most playful kinetic sculpture! (White clouds optional, but make for a delightful photo!)
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.

"Spinning to Sagittarius" kinetic sculpture
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
This stunning kinetic sculpture is made of welded, powdercoated, and painted steel in white and gradient shades of metallic pink, spiraling at the top of a tall pole. The colorful top section is counterbalanced by a brake drum and concrete cone that moves inside of a steel cage over an embedded base made of cast iron antique man-hole covers. It catches even the slightest breeze for near-constant movement!
Please watch the video to see the incredible wind-powered kinetic in action.
