Shayne Dark
Maelstrom Series No 5 - layered, intersecting, forged aluminum sculpture

2022

About the Item

In a gorgeous aubergine colour, this dynamic sculpture by Shayne Dark is part of an exciting new series called Maelstrom. Known for his uniquely beautiful abstract work, this piece is hand forged from small round aluminum rods formed into a circular shape that sits on a black stand. The sculpture emulates the natural energy of the whirlpool it is named after (a maelstrom). This series was inspired by the global tumult of the last two years and time spent in the solitude of his studio. “I started to bend aluminium rods into circular shapes until I had hundreds of elements tossed in a pile in the corner of my studio. The large haphazard heap of material had this spontaneous energy and movement. Eventually, I started to envision vortexes and maelstroms.” Shayne Dark He was the artist in residence at the Brooklyn botanic garden in 2016 following a successful residency at the Albright Knox and Buffalo botanical garden in 2015 and a feature article on his work in Sculpture magazine. At Art Basel, Dark was named one of the top ten artists to watch. His work can be found in numerous private, corporate, and public collections.
