Eric Morren Art

Dutch, b. 1970

Eric Morren (22-4-1970, De Bilt) GEOMETRIC SCULPTURES To explain what art is about then you immediately fall short at the very first sentence. That's the same as that boy who was asked for his final Dutch exam What is guts? This is guts... and handed in his essay with this one sentence. The more you write about art the more you find out that assumptions are being made. Did the artist really mean it. Is it art at all? When is someone an artist. When he can do something really well or just when he is able to let go of his circumscribed maturity. Having watched art for more than 30 years, I can say that I have seen some pass. The sculptures I made in the past year appeared out of nowhere. One moment the metal was still in sheets on the ground and the next it was standing straight up. A strange experience as if the sculptures were there before I made them. After a few works, a sudden fear arose that I would lose the power but I had to spend some time discovering why I was going to make these sculptures and where they came from. Meanwhile, I know what these works are about, where they come from and can generate new works. The fear is gone. When a painter finds a brush he likes so I found my welder that felt like a fit. By merging Western and Eastern influences, these sculptures emerged in my mind. They seem like images from the past but also from a distant future, images that have yet to tell us anything. I prefer to place them in a tranquil space or large expanse of sand where you come across an sculpture like this and wonder what it is. If it is a utilitarian object, what is it used for? And why the circles? When the ninth sculpture suddenly appeared, the circles caught my eye. Why do those circles keep appearing besides the fact that they are visually very attractive to me? Why did I suddenly make these works? Sometimes you are looking for something that gives you strength. You are introverted and want to hold on to that but also want to share that serenity. You want to be open but also come across as strong. You want to be sweet but also tough. You want to send but also receive. You want to return to something primitive but at the same time be able to receive futuristically. You want to share and transmit your knowledge and expertise.

Located in Culver City, CA

"Echoes of Terrain" Abstract Sculpture 62" x 10" x 10" in by Shawn Kolodny Medium: Steel & Automotive Paint Shawn Kolodny is an artist based in Miami, FL. For the past 15 years, he has created large scale installations for cultural institutions and private residences around the world. Kolodny’s work explores the beauty and geometric synergies of the natural world, and our relationship to our innermost thoughts. His signature, playful works made of reflective steel spheres capture the symmetry, volume and balance present in both nature and design. These spheres are placed together to create new forms that reflect the vibrant and dynamic nature of the world around us, and the impact of our ever-changing perspective. Kolodny’s site-specific and shapeshifting installations construct a kinetic and immersive environment for viewers, creating space for moments of mindfulness and self-reflection within their experience. Transcending the traditional boundaries of art, the artist creates new worlds with each installation, that are at once both fantastical and organic. His practice seeks to encourage viewers to engage with the world around them in new, more meaningful and imaginative ways, inspiring a childlike wonder. Kolodny’s innovative style has garnered international recognition, and led to collaborations with brands including ​ House of Creed, Missoni, Snow Lodge at the St Regis Aspen, Paris Hilton, Four Seasons, BMF, and Pharell's Something In The Water Festival. He is represented by William Morris Endeavor.

“Tiny Celadon Green Jacket, ” Steel Sculpture

By Gordon Chandler

Located in Chicago, IL

Upon discovering a weathered steel drum that had been warped to resemble the sleeve of a garment, artist Gordon Chandler was inspired to embark on a series of kimono sculptures formed from found metal scraps. With an eye to the aesthetic possibilities of this humble material, Chandler invests the reclaimed steel with sculptural fluidity and a wry sense of form. Flattened with the center portion rolled out and the sides left open, this discarded barrel takes on the look of a miniature jacket. Coated with a mint green finish, the eroded metal appears as draped fabric, folded back to form a simple collar. The sculpture is finished with the artist's initials stamped...

'Untitled Assemblage #S3-23', by John Wolfe, Mixed Media Abstract Sculpture

Located in Oklahoma City, OK

John Wolfe's Mixed Media Abstract Sculpture, "Untitled Assemblage #S 3-23" brings together wood, steel, ceramic elements, and acrylic paint. The warm colors of the wood and painted ceramic elements soften the feel of the rectilinear arrangement. The shallow depth of the work gives the sculpture a kind of "drawing" quality while the shadows it casts lend a more expansive feel. The heavy, dark wood base anchors all aspects of the work in place. This work is the perfect tabletop piece. It's large enough to command attention, but also subtle in its open framework arrangement. John Wolfe was born in Vernon...
