Gordon Chandler Figurative Sculptures

American, b. 1953
GORDON CHANDLER b. 1953, Springfield, MA American sculptor Gordon Chandler first studied sculpture at Maine’s Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture from Syracuse University and a Master of Fine Arts in sculpture from the University of Massachusetts. In 1976, he founded W&P Builders for the manufacture of welded steel woodstoves. Renowned for his work with salvaged metal, Chandler has exhibited his sculpture and functional art across the country, including nearly yearly participation in Chicago’s Sculpture, Objects, Functional Art Exhibition since 1997. He is well known for his series of steel drum kimonos, buck heads, and reclaimed metal furniture. His work can be found in public and private collections across the country.

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 golden-brown finish, the eroded metal appears as draped silk, folded back to form a simple collar with a contrasting green interior. The sculpture is finished with the artist's initials stamped...
