Johnny Poux sculptures Johnny Poux’s large-scale kinetic concrete sculptures and installations explore the relationship between motion and mass, industry and nature. Each piece is made individually to order. Artist statement My work as an artist has been focused primarily on large-scale kinetic pieces that explore my unyielding fascination with simple machine principles, movement, and the beauty and physics of a large mass in motion. Working with industrial materials like concrete and steel, and occasionally combining these with natural forms or living things like trees, my work is often about the tension between man and nature and our technological footprint. I am drawn to creating large-scale work that moves, evokes feelings of wonder, is interactive, and alters our relationship to the world for a moment. I have built and installed 30 foot tall steel kinetic pieces that span a full 40’ circle as if in flight and have created 1000 lb. concrete pieces that ripple like water in the historic cement mines of Rosendale, NY. I have balanced and counter weighted a 55’ tall black walnut tree...

This one-of-a-kind modern ceramic suspension sculpture is hand-built in high-fired stoneware in Detroit and produced as a unique work in 2024. Structured through repetition and vertical alignment, the composition explores reflection, gravity, and architectural rhythm. Happening Circle is composed of 66 individually formed stoneware elements, mirror-finished in platinum glaze and suspended from six stainless steel cables. Each cable supports eleven ceramic forms, creating a disciplined vertical column that reads as both sculptural field and spatial intervention. The platinum glaze produces a highly reflective surface that shifts with ambient light, oscillating between metallic density and luminous sheen. The repetition of form establishes visual cadence while maintaining structural clarity. The work is neither wall-bound nor floor-based — it occupies vertical space as suspended architecture. At six feet in height, Happening Circle asserts presence without massing outward. It defines volume through alignment and reflection rather than bulk. Handcrafted in Detroit using a proprietary platinum glazing process. Signed and stamped by J Schatz...
