Dale Dunning
Tangled - silver, abstract human face, stainless steel and cable wall sculpture

2019

About the Item

A continuous strand of slender, silver aircraft cable is threaded through polished squares of stainless steel to create an ethereal mask. The compelling work by Dale Dunning is powder coated silver and glints in the light. This sculpture is unique, not editioned. "My sculptures are objects of reflection and contemplation. The head that I employ in most of my work is generic, non-specific ... I look on them as a mirror which reflects back the observer's experience in new combinations and associations." ~ Dale Dunning Dale Dunning holds a Master of Fine Arts Degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. While earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Mt. Allison University, NB, he studied under Lawren P. Harris and George Tiessen. Dunning has exhibited across Canada and his work is held in private, corporate and public collections including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Robert McLaughlin Gallery, McIntosh Gallery at Western University, Carleton University Art Collection, and the National Library of Canada.

    By Ania Biczysko

  • White Swan
    By Rainer Lagemann
    Located in Miami, FL
    Born in Düsseldorf in 1959, Rainer Lagemann concentrates on the human body in a modern interpretation of classical sculpture. Lagemann is fascinated by the long-held tradition of artistic expression and struggle depicted through the natural form explored in all shapes, materials, and mediums since the beginning of art history. His sculptures capture the human body in motion--a freeze-frame of classic, timeless gestures and emotions, both ethereal and concrete. The forms he creates possess the grace of a Nureyev or Baryshnikov in mid-flight. Lagemann uses hollow metal squares to sculpt the human figure, creating works that elicit both the strength and delicacy of the body. Each square represents the trials and tribulations of life, the four corners symbolizing the intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of human beings that form the framework of the spirit and the image of the body. The hollow squares strip away distractions, leaving a powerful vision and exploration of the human body, adding an element of tangible levity and formless abstraction. With all of Rainer's sculptures, there is a secondary layer of beauty and mystery - the exquisite shadows of form, body, and spirit cast themselves upon the walls creating a second sculpture of light...

  • Twist
    By Rainer Lagemann
    Located in Miami, FL
    Powder-coated stainless steel. Unique. Born in Düsseldorf, Germany on September 14th, 1959, Rainer Lagemann studied in Abitur Albert Einstein Gymnasium from 1965 - 1978. Following this, he enrolled in the University of FH Detmold (1983 - 1987) where he studied Interior architecture and got a sense of himself - learned a lot about design, furniture, architecture and art. It was only in 2005 when Lagemann started welding and found his true passion and special talent for it. Concentrating on the human body in a modern interpretation of the classic art of sculpture, Rainer is fascinated by the human body and the classic theme of artistic expression and struggle that has been depicted in all shapes, materials and mediums since the existence of mankind. Rainer's sculptures capture the human body in motion--a freeze frame of classic, timeless gestures and emotions that are both ethereal and concrete. The forms he creates are how one would imagine the grace of a Nureyev or Baryshnikov in mid-flight. Rainer uses hollow metal squares to sculpt the human form, creating works that elicit both the strength and delicacy of the body. Each square represents the trials and tribulations of life, the four corners symbolizing the intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual dimension of human beings that form the framework of the spirit and the image of the body. The hollow squares strip away distractions, leaving a powerful vision and exploration of the human body, adding an element of tangible levity and intangible abstraction. With all of Rainer's sculptures there is a secondary layer of beauty, abstraction and mystery. When darkness falls and the lights come on, the exquisite shadows of form, squares, body and spirit cast themselves upon the walls creating a second sculpture of light...
