Magic of Lace - Raw Beauty of Welded Steel

The beauty of steel sculpture - design dictated purely by the whimsy of the artist is somehow enchanting.
New dimensions emerge as the sculpture, Leo Loomans, works his magic with welder and keen eye.

 
 
Add to the mix, the equally powerful yet somehow intimate vision of lace and its ability to evoke a variety of emotions from fragility to strength!

 
I did not initially grasp the concept of Barbara Gebhart referencing lace to highlight the journey of women over time, but after seeing her work, I am proud to say “I understand”.
 
Such is art.
 
I welcome this exhibition – the products of two highly talented yet brilliantly different artists.
At The Edge Art Space we work tirelessly to ensure our patrons view a broad cross section of work by clever and diverse artists who push boundaries,
and who explore subject matter and media way beyond the mainstream.
 

 
From November 18th you are invited to The Edge Art Space – 120 Brooklyn Road – Brooklyn
to also be enchanted by the joy and exuberance of an exhibition that skilfully mixes two distinctly different disciplines to become one powerful showing.
 

 
This exhibition is a gift – a tribute to all who nurture the journey of the artist.
 
 

Lace And Steel in Brooklyn

Our upcoming November exhibition at The Edge Art Space, is something we feel incredibly excited about. Not simply because the two media involved are so inexorably yet impossibly linked through sheer irony, but because the two very different contributing artists are actually uniting in one brilliantly enigmatic exhibition.

This exhibition opening on November 18th will be a delight for patrons.

Referencing LACE at its most restless and provocative best, is Barbara Gebhart.

Austrian born Barbara, has an impressive body of work representing the conflict between the emerging role of women as strong, capable and powerful, and their more primal role of delicacy and sensuality.

These two contrary roles are about as different as Lace and Steel.

No matter how far women have evolved, Barbara sees them as, by necessity, remaining in touch with the historically erotic and provocative aspects of their gender without subordinating themselves or sacrificing their freedom.

Her honest portrayal of modern woman, and her ability to use lace so symbolically, indicates that for her there is freedom and independence whilst remaining true to 'the sisterhood'.

Her work is beautiful. Her subject matter is brilliant. Her message is clear.

WOMANHOOD CONTINUES TO EVOLVE.
