Eric Morren Abstract Sculptures

Dutch, b. 1970

Eric Morren (1970, De Bilt) studied at the Grafisch Lyceum in Utrecht and opened his first studio, Atelier Eric, at the Oudegracht at the age of twenty-two. What began as a studio and exhibition space for his own abstract painting practice quickly evolved into a gallery and meeting place for other artists. Morren proved a gifted gallerist, eventually expanding to multiple locations in Utrecht, Amsterdam, and Haarlem.

Following a period of reflection influenced by Eastern philosophy, Morrenchose to scale back to the gallery’s original location, allowing space for a renewed personal artistic practice. He turned to sculpture, teaching himself welding and rapidly developing a distinctive visual language.

Morren’s welded steel sculptures employ a restrained geometric vocabulary of vertical axes and circular elements. Rooted in early twentieth-century modernism and constructivist traditions, the works also evoke post–Apollo11 futurism through their industrial materiality and upward orientation. Atonce architectural and instrumental, they can be read as antennas or receivers, mediating between earth and cosmos, while their totemic forms recall tribal and ritual objects.

Through this synthesis of modernist clarity, space-age optimism, and archaic symbolism, Morren’s sculptures function as hybrid forms that unite industrial precision with metaphysical resonance.

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.
