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 with Leo Loomans

Lace & Steel
Leo Loomans

As one of the contributing artists in our upcoming   
Lace & Steel  exhibition at The Edge Art Space in Brooklyn (Sydney),we clearly view the steel sculptures of 
Leo Loomans’ as profoundly interesting.


Driven by form, Leo produces complex yet unified pieces which allow his audience interpretations that are uniquely personal to them.

His works engender personal reflection, encourage thought, and attract curiosity.

 
Using welded steel as a medium, naturally ensures his work is aesthetically strong, visually intense, and powerfully imposing.

Combined with Leo’s skill at creating sculpture that offers impact, balance and raw beauty we know we are offering in Lace & Steel  an exhibition that will
ensure all the enjoyable elements of artistic pleasure: fine form, extraordinary contrasts, strong messages, and a gorgeous venue.
