"Twister" Modernist Abstract Figurative Steel and Wood Sculpture

2022

About the Item

Abstract figurative recycled steel sculpture on a cypress wood base by Houston, TX artist Jack Farrell. The sculpture depicts figures lying down on a base struggling to stand back up. Signed by the artist on the sculpture. Artist Biography: Jack Farrell is a Texan born and raised. He studied Psychology at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio and the University of Houston before launching a career in remodeling and repairing historic homes that have spanned over 50 years while producing art pieces for friends and admirers. He is entirely self-taught. Jack’s favorite medium is recycled steel, for its extreme flexibility and unrivaled durability. His style may be impressionistic figurative to surrealistic with a frequent humorous slant. The surfaces are naturally rusted with a preference for unusual materials and a deep patina. Jack's works are found in private collections from Texas and the USA to Europe.
