Alexander Caldwell Art

Canadian, b. 1961
Born 1961 in Whitehorse, Yukon, Caldwell lives and works as an artist full time in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Alexander Caldwell’s sculptures are immaculate in execution and finish. Caldwell embraces curves and right angles, round volumes, and flat planes, where minimalism meets pop art. Squares, spheres, hemispheres and cylinders are the building blocks of his art. Each sculpture is painted a single bright colour or coated with a meticulous metal finish. Caldwell works mostly with found materials, although he will cast elements he wants to repeat. He employs colour to remove the shape as far as possible from its origins as a functional object. The colour that transforms the industrial origins of his materials has become so important to the minimal shapes that it’s “as if the metal has become an armature for the paint." Caldwell’s artworks are held in private and public collections in Canada, USA, Greece, and Korea.

Log Cabin - yellow, contemporary, painted stainless steel, outdoor sculpture

By Alexander Caldwell

Located in Bloomfield, ON

Forged from stainless steel, this contemporary outdoor sculpture is by Alexander Caldwell. The Alberta artist favors sculpting with metal and creating clean lines that are rendered in a vivid palette. The form of this playful piece–a tower of stacked logs is inspired by nature. The industrial material is coated in a brilliant shiny yellow automotive or oilfield paint. It stands an impressive 76 inches (193 cm.) high. “Alexander Caldwell’s sculptures are immaculate in execution and finish” Paul Kuhn...

Ice Nebula 3 - polished, geometric, abstract, painted steel sculpture

By Alexander Caldwell

Located in Bloomfield, ON

This polished, geometric, abstract, painted steel sculpture is by artist Alexander Caldwell. Caldwell’s modern minimalist sculptures have been recognized for their masterful execution and flawless form and color. The Calgary-based artist’s work is often influenced by both nature and science. Ice Nebula is one of a series of pieces inspired by the extraordinary images of space sent to Earth by the Hubble Space Telescope. This tabletop sculpture consists of several stainless steel spheres of different sizes welded together to form a tower-like shape, mounted on a wooden base. Caldwell’s signature paint finish—layers of glossy paint mask the seams of each component so they appear cohesive. The distinctive iridescent paint of Nebula changes color from blue-green to light purple in different light conditions. A nebula is a cloud of gas or dust in outer space. “… The color that transforms the industrial origins of my materials has become so important to the simpler shapes of my new work that it’s as if the metal has become an armature for the paint. “ Alexander Caldwell Alexander Caldwell was born in Whitehorse, Yukon.
