About the Item
The graceful flight of two birds is captured in this stunningly elegant contemporary sculpture by Amos Robinson. The American artist hand forged this kinetic piece from stainless steel. Two birds-wings outstretched, (each birds wingspan is 12”), are attached to three separate curved pieces that sit on top of a tall, slender post. As the ‘silver’ birds fly, (they move independently with the wind) sunlight reflects off the highly polished surface engaging the landscape and the viewer. The effect is simply mesmerizing. Robinson is fascinated with the idea of motion and most of his work is made from stainless steel.
“I use both figurative and abstract elements in my sculptures. My work often incorporates recognizable forms, but strict representation is not my primary objective. My foremost goal is the expression of a feeling or state of mind.” Amos Robinson
Born in New York City, Steven Edward Robinson (Amos is a nickname) is a self-taught artist. In an earlier career, Robinson did metal work developing industrial equipment. A lifelong interest in restoring classic cars and motorcycles also helped hone his mechanical skills. Since he began creating kinetic sculptures in 2005, he has completed almost fifty public art installations. His work is also held in private collections worldwide including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Europe, Australia and China.
This is a wind-activated kinetic sculpture. Each kinetic feature atop the 94" pedestal has a full 360° range of motion and moves independently in response to changes in air currents. Baseplate is 18” x 18” x ¼”.

Amos Robinson
Amos Robinson has been creating kinetic art, mobiles and sculpture since 2005. Stainless steel is his medium of choice and motion, actual or implied, is an important component of his work. His metalworking and mechanical skills were honed over a 25- year career in the fields of air pollution control and industrial equipment, and a nearly lifelong interest in classic cars and motorcycles. He credits an experience at age twelve at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City as the seed from which his interest in kinetic art grew. As he stood before a mobile by Alexander Calder, the docent encouraged him, “Go ahead son, make it move; bring it to life." The idea thrilled him then, just as it continues to inspire him today. Amos Robinson has 25 permanent public art installations and private collectors in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Europe, Australia and China Selected Exhibitions

Territorial Bird - Outdoor sculpture
By Ania Biczysko

Territorial Bird is constructed from stylized and highly reflective ribbons of stainless steel that change colour and luminosity with the surrounding environment. Abstracted, but recognizably bird like, the weightless effect of Biczysko's sculpture achieves the appearance of motion.
Ania Biczysko obtained a Master’s Degree in Sculpture from the Fine Art Academy in Gdansk, Poland (1986). Biczysko’s versatility is reflected through a variety of creative expressions and mediums. Over the years, she has received many public exhibitions and commissions, both within Canada...

“Weather Vane” (for Parkett 64)
Located in Vancouver, CA
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a significant artwork by renowned Vancouver artist Rodney Graham. "Weather Vane" (for Parkett 64) is a compelling sculpture that embodies Graham's exploration of cyclical movement and art historical references.
This limited edition piece, number 17 of 20, features Graham riding a bicycle backwards, a playful image that alludes to the impossibility of moving forward while facing the past. This motif resonates with his film trilogy where characters are trapped in repetitive cycles.
Crafted from black enamelled stainless steel, this weather vane is suitable for indoor and outdoor installs. Its creation for Parkett magazine...
