Joe Garnero Art

Joe Garnero’s medium of choice for his winding abstract wood sculptures is reclaimed Redwood roots, which he finds along the northern California coast. The distinct curving shapes of these roots act as a catalyst for his sculptural inspiration. Just as every tree and set of roots are unique, each of his sculptures is one of a kind. Garnero shapes each sculpture with hand tools, allowing for a more delicate approach to preserve the integrity of the natural forms. This one-of-a-kind original 22-inch tall by 16-inch wide and 8-inch deep redwood sculpture is mounted onto a steel base and is ready to be displayed. The sculpture is finished with a semi-gloss wax and signed by the artist on the bottom. Size and price include stand. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery is included. Garnero is based in Healdsburg, California. He was born in Monterey, California to a family of craftsmen, builders, bakers, potters, and sculptors. Garnero has been influenced by the work of his wood sculptor grandfather whose studio was on the property where he grew up. “The end result represents my depiction of what has taken hundreds of years to form. This inherent form is part of what I follow and the direction I take to end up where I end up. These pieces are forces of nature that are strong, graceful, and enduring. ” The materials Garnero uses are ethically acquired through salvaged sources. The use of hand tools plays the biggest role in his work as it allows for a more delicate approach to preserve the integrity of the natural forms. This combination is the basis and inspiration for all of his work. Recent Exhibitions 2017-2018 John Hanes Fine Art Gallery, Boonville, CA 2017-2018 Urban Hardwoods...
