Sarah Alexander
"Ringmaster", Contemporary, Hammered Steel, Whimsical, Sculpture, 2019

2019

About the Item

Sarah Alexander's Ringmaster is a 43.5 x 26 x 20 inch (with stand) steel sculpture that comes with an unattached whimsical stand resembling stork-like legs. Without the stand the sculpture measures 26 x 26 x 20 inches. This playful grassy shape is made from hand hammered steel with a clear coating over unpainted steel. Marks have been engraved onto the steel with touches of a blue patina made from a torch. This sculpture casts beautiful shadows that give the sculpture life and movement. Alexander has brought her drawings from 2-D to 3-D form in this series from her exhibit titled Anywhere, Anywhere, I don't Know, depicting an internal landscape which could be from anywhere. The signature is engraved on the piece. Alexander likes to approach the same subject using differing materials to see how it transforms the narrative of the subject. A grassy seed ball drawn with pen and ink or painted in watercolor, feels very different when “drawn” with steel. Alexander is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.

Butterfly, 30"high mixed media, unique sculpture

"Butterfly" by Chapel 30x12x10" one-of-a-kind sculpture Mixed Media: Dyed Concrete, Steel, and Marble This particular piece is available from the estate of the artist. It is in excellent, like-new, condition. Shipping price includes the custom packing necessary for safe transport of fine art. Chapel, 1948-2021, Artist's Statement: “I was raised on the Western Slope of Colorado, with almost unfettered access to the American wilderness. I currently reside on a sailboat in Oakland, CA with my studio in nearby San Leandro. I work with permanent materials including bronze, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, glass and stone. It is my contention that a work of art must include a complete environment, not just a single object. In my opinion, it is very difficult to convey meaning with either pure abstraction, or pure representation. Describing an abstract concept with another abstraction does not define the subject. There is nothing in a completely non-objective artwork from the viewers experience upon which to base some meaning. One the other hand, a completely realistic presentation doesn't define an abstraction any better than a dictionary. This is why my sculpture is a blend - the symbolic joining of modern man with primitive experience. They are in-depth studies of the archetypes and symbols used to communicate their relevance to our everyday lives. Mythology, poetry and art are humanity's attempt to describe the mysteries of life which are beyond our ability to consciously comprehend. This is the appeal of the visual arts, poetry, literature and music; they excite an emotional response, or memory that transcends mere words.” - Ron Chapel...
