From the artist’s website:
James Bearden is a celebrated American sculptor and designer whose work merges the raw power of Brutalism with a refined artistic sensibility. His journey from a painter to a master of metalwork has defined his career, with each phase reflecting his relentless pursuit of texture, form, and depth.
Early Artistic Foundations
Originally trained as a painter, Bearden's early work was marked by a fascination with abstract expressionism. His use of color and composition laid the foundation for what would later become his distinct sculptural aesthetic. However, his creative instincts soon led him beyond the confines of canvas, inspiring him to explore new mediums that allowed for greater physicality and texture.
Transition to Sculpture & Metalwork
In 2007, Bearden made a defining shift from painting to sculpture, captivated by the tactile possibilities of metal. Armed with a blowtorch and an experimental mindset, he began crafting steel sculptures that fused Brutalist architecture with organic, almost primal, structures. His work quickly gained attention for its rugged yet elegant textures, achieved through oxidation, layering, and intricate welding techniques. He often draws inspiration from nature, architecture, and mid-century design, creating pieces that evoke both strength and fluidity. His signature finishes include the use of Solvent Dyes over bronze, creating surfaces that feel unearthed and otherworldly.
Recognition & Influence
Bearden’s unique vision has earned him widespread acclaim in the contemporary art world. His work has been featured in prominent publications such as Interior Design Magazine and Galerie, and he has exhibited at leading galleries including STUDIO VAN DEN AKKER, Weinberg Modern, Wright20, Rago Modern, and Amy Lau. His sculptures and furniture pieces are sought after by collectors, interior designers, and architects who appreciate the raw yet refined aesthetic of his work. Additionally, Bearden’s influence extends beyond individual collectors, as his pieces have been integrated into high-end interior designs, boutique hotels, and architectural projects.
Current Work & Legacy
Today, Bearden continues to push the boundaries of his medium, expanding his portfolio with increasingly complex sculptural compositions. His commitment to handcrafted artistry in an age of mass production underscores his belief that true art lies in the imperfections and intricacies of the material. As his work continues to evolve, he remains focused on experimenting with new patinas, surface treatments, and forms that challenge conventional design. James Bearden remains a pioneering force in contemporary Brutalist sculpture, redefining the relationship between form, function, and artistic expression. His dedication to craftsmanship and innovation ensures that his legacy will endure as a defining figure in modern sculptural design.
