About the Item

My sculpture titled Dreamscape, offers a compelling exploration of the concept of a level playing field as a dreamlike or fantastical ideal. By framing this landscape as a Dreamscape, I invite viewers to consider the inherent challenges and complexities of achieving true equality and fairness in society. The characters depicted in the scene, representing recurring creatures from an earlier series of works and serving as representatives of human nature, add depth and nuance to the composition. Through these characters, viewers are prompted to reflect on the various facets of human behavior, including our capacity for both cooperation and conflict, empathy and self-interest. The use of assemblage techniques, combining cast and fabricated elements, adds layers of texture and complexity to the artwork. This approach mirrors the multifaceted nature of the human experience and underscores the idea that achieving a level playing field requires a concerted effort to navigate and reconcile diverse perspectives and interests. Dreamscape, serves as a thought-provoking exploration of societal ideals and human nature, inviting viewers to contemplate the inherent contradictions and challenges of pursuing equality and fairness in a world marked by complexity and diversity. Through this assemblage of elements and characters, the work offers a visually rich and conceptually engaging portrayal of the elusive nature of the level playing field.

  • Poem for a Tree
    By Mark Beltchenko Studio
    Located in Grosse Pointe Park, MI
    My dedication to addressing environmental concerns through my sculpture has long been a subject for my work. By using my artistic voice to draw attention to the pressing issues facing our planet, I'm hoping to inspire change and raise awareness among viewers. The fabrication of the stretcher from brass and aluminum highlights my intentionality in material choice, symbolizing the intersection of human industry and natural resources. This juxtaposition of man-made materials with the organic form of the tree log creates a striking visual contrast that prompts viewers to consider the relationship between human activity and the environment. The use of a naturally hollowed tree...

  • Chiseled stone sculpture from my "Insider Series" titled "Disengaged # One"
    By Mark Beltchenko Studio
    Located in Grosse Pointe Park, MI
    Title: "Insiders Series (Disengaged #1.): A Tactile Journey Through Form and Narrative" "(Disengaged #1.)" from the "Insiders Series" emerges as a singular masterpiece—a one-of-a-kind sculpture meticulously crafted from hand-carved limestone and an assortment of metals thoughtfully chosen for their color and malleability. This work, like its counterparts in the series, transcends the boundaries of visual exploration, inviting the beholder to engage in a tactile experience that unravels a narrative both familiar and enigmatic. The sculpture beckons exploration not just with the eyes, but with the hands—a deliberate choice that transforms the artwork into an interactive encounter. As hands traverse the surface of the stone, a world unfolds, both impenetrable and inviting, offering a tactile journey that complements and completes the visual narrative. Each touch becomes a discovery of the familiar and the unknown, an invitation to unravel the layers of meaning embedded in the carved form. The core of this freestanding sculpture is hand-carved Indiana limestone...
