Image 7: Johnson, Tina (Photographer). "Armed With a Blowtorch, James Bearden Brings Idiosyncratic Steel Objects to Life." Interior Design, 2 February 2017. About the artist: James Anthony Bearden is an abstract artist known for his sculptural creations. He has been working as a full-time sculptor since 2007. Bearden obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in fine Art and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Communications from Grandview College in Des Moines, Iowa. Initially, he embarked on his artistic career as a graphic designer and served as an Art Director for an advertising agency in Des Moines. During his time in the advertising industry, he was honored with 52 Addy Awards for his creative contributions. However, in response to the economic repercussions of the 9/11 events, Bearden made a pivotal decision to transition careers and pursue sculptural art using metal as his primary medium. Since then, he has dedicated himself to creating sculptures that showcase his artistic vision. In 2013, Bearden expanded his artistic repertoire to include functional works such as cabinets, lamps, and tables. His diverse series, including Cathedral, Assemblage, Voids, Lunar Blooms, and Animals, highlight his extensive artistic talent and demonstrate his versatility across different themes and styles. Bearden's artwork has been widely recognized and appreciated, earning him a place in corporate, municipal, and prominent private collections. His sculptures can be found in various esteemed art collections, further solidifying his reputation as an accomplished and respected artist in the field of abstract sculpture.

James Bearden Segment Etagere
By James Bearden
Located in New York, NY
"Segment Étagère” a sculptural work in torch-cut and polychromed steel with fused bronze, solvent dyes, and glass enamel, with four glass shelves. By American artist James Bearden. The rectangular étagère, with its dramatic yet delicate composition and juxtaposition of shapes and colors drawn from Bearden’s evolving vocabulary, is perched atop four slender legs. Bearden's work was featured in a 2020 solo exhibition at the NY Design Center titled "James Bearden: Technical and Aesthetic Revelations," in an article in the January 2017 Interior Design Magazine; in an introspective feature on 1stdibs; and in a feature article in DSM Magazine. The étagère is part of a group of case pieces being offered individually--see the photo of three cabinets below. Custom sizes and colors are available upon request. In an introduction to the 2020 exhibition, curator Kartrina Weinberg wrote: "In the two years after the artist’s last solo exhibition — where the material reality of steel was evident in both its title and monochromatic appearance — Mr. Bearden sought to break free from pre-conceived judgment of his medium, as well as the persistent misnomers applied to his art. While subtle color play has always existed in his previous works, the development in his coloring technique — from painted polychrome to dyed glass enamel — allowed for dramatic saturation and stunning complexity in his new palette, bringing heightened immediacy to his biomorphic and anthropomorphic imagery. The artist had always challenged the gravitational reality of steel, but he has found new expressions towards verticality and delicacy, transcending material and elevating function. The open compositions, ranging from ornamental tracery to dynamic use of negative space, allow for the interplay of light and air, animating the environment with ever-changing viewing possibilities. This exhibition took inspiration from the naturalist traditions and fantastical imagery of Early Netherlandish paintings...
