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.
 
 

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.
