Contemporary Abstract Sculpture, 'Edge of a Dream' by Charles Splady

About the Item

"Edge of a Dream," part of Charles Splady's Dream Series, is a steel sculpture that delves into the concept of negative or absent landscapes. The piece embodies an exploration of presence through absence, using industrial materials to evoke a visually striking narrative of void and form. Handcrafted from cut steel with a mirror-polished top, this sculpture captures light and reflection, adding depth to its portrayal of imagined landscapes. This unique finish further emphasizes the ethereal nature of the piece, inviting contemplation of what lies beyond. This sculpture is new and shipped directly from the artist's studio. About Charles Splady: Charles Splady, an American sculptor, embodies the timeless essence of metalwork. A graduate of the California College of the Arts & Crafts, he founded Splady Art Studios in 1971—a hub for art design, fabrication, and architectural metalwork. His sculptures, reflecting a cycle of metal's transformations, whisper echoes of history, emphasizing the enduring, universal power of art across generations.
