David appears in Brooklyn


Despite the jetlag that afflicts all constant travellers, David has resumed a new position outside the front doors of The Edge Art Space in Brooklyn. Looking none the worse for his travels (unless you count a broken neck) he now stands tall and shapely like a Centurian greeting all visitors to this gorgeous arts venue.

As the informed may be aware, David is never in one place for long (preferring the life of a gypsy) so he will soon move to greener pastures.

His time here has been interesting. 
He has been kidnapped by pranksters and subjected to a violent Sydney hailstorm, but he has certainly turned the heads of many a tired commuter.

It is our hope that he has also brought a smile to the faces of our patrons and the residents of Brooklyn.
As always, our aim is to please.
Below are postcards sent by David during his many travels.



His travel diary is well booked, but for further information on David, you may wish to speak with his maker, John Wright - sculptor.

Here at The Edge Art Space we choose to continue evolving as often as is necessary to accommodate the brilliance and genius of the artists, sculptors and musicians who cross our doorstep on an ever increasing basis.

One of the exciting sculptors who has caused a rush of adrenalin for us of late, is the talented John Wright of Sydney.

Johns’ work has morphed over time as he has experimented with different styles and mediums, but his fabulous use of steel, wire and bronze has certainly caught our attention.  


We get enormous pleasure from his resident sculpture ‘Joy’ who graces our outdoor garden space.  ‘Joy’ enriches the lives of our patrons and always brings a smile to the faces of visitors. As the name suggests, she is a giant red kangaroo.



  
John Wright has a skilled eye for the detail that provokes such interest in his work. His fire-engine red kangaroo is at once endearing, profoundly beautiful, yet despite her size, is contained enough to sit comfortably in a residential garden. As with all our exhibits, ‘Joy’ is available for sale through The Edge Art Space (though we will hate losing her), and we would also encourage you to keep abreast of Johns’ latest works by regularly viewing this blog, emailing us or phoning the gallery curator, Gerd Schmid.



John utilizes his keen eye for detail to produce the most magnificent cast bronzes also, and his stunning “Camel Train’ cannot pass without mention. His ‘train’ of progressive camels as they stroll their rusty outback railway track, is one of the most magnificent examples of Australian art this scribe has ever seen.

This beautiful contribution has personally stolen my heart, and is worthy of placement on the wall of any of the globes grandest of homes. It is equally worthy of being included in the corporate collection of any international boardroom.

Likewise his wire camels and the brilliant flying gazelles.





John is understandably awarded and well exhibited, and it is our absolute pleasure to represent him.
