Brad Rude Sculptures

American, b. 1964

Brad Rude was born in Montana and has lived in Walla Walla, Washington, most of his life. His journeys through his grandfather's folk art studio left him with images of horses and carriages, his first carved horse still holds a place of prominence in his studio, next to his extensive collections of found objects, books, pictures and anything that might inspire him. Rude’s passion for living in the country, his home and studio are tucked beneath Walla Walla's Blue Mountains, instill a deep love of the Northwest, a concern for the human condition as well as nature's well-being. His art and creatures take form in sculptures, which now reside on the sidewalks of downtown Walla Walla, in the Walla Walla Foundry's breezeway, and in the collections of Microsoft, Nordstrom, Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, the Boise Art Museum, and others. "You could make a case that Rude's work is somewhere between western realism, abstract openness, and the notebook of an anthropologist in The Twilight Zone. His bronze sculptures often begin with a vague notion and random objects. He mixes and matches and watches where the story leads him."

By Eugene Caples
Located in Detroit, MI
This small exquisite "Bronze Sculpture I" is in excellent condition and a perfect example of Eugene Caples craftsmanship. Although it is mainly abstract, there are bits that look figurative either an arm or a leg attempting to emerge from a fold or attempting to hold a pose such as in yoga. It cries out to be touched and held, looked at and caressed. The beautiful patina on the surface gives voice to the many hands that have done these things. Eugene Caples is a designer and craftsman who worked in Kansas City in the 1960s and later through the early 21st century. He attended the Kansas City Art Institute, earning his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Industrial Design in 1959. In 1963 he was accepted to Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
