Gregory Johnson Cranes Bronze
October is Sculpture Month at DE Fine Art Gallery! Join us on Thursday, October, from 7 to 10 in the evening as we welcome Atlanta sculptor, Greg Johnson, and celebrate American artist Paige Bradley. This is Johnson`s first appearance at DE Fine Art Gallery.
Greg Johnson`s sculptures capture the life-like. Beginning with clay, Johnson uses his hands to shape his sculptures that later are molded and cast into bronze at the foundry.
"From my earliest recollections, my work has always been representational in nature. It reflects as strong European tradition of a softly detailed surface quality, while expressing the energy and vitality of contemporary life. The first step, which is the most important for me, is to capture the `Presence` of the moment; this is done by creating a feeling of character, selecting the most expressive composition, and enhancing the feeling of movement. Artists describe this ability to capture movement as being gesturely rich. Even static objects can have an intrinsic feeling of movement." - Gregory Johnson
Paige Bradley`s work is full of dichotomies; both the beautiful and the ugly, the liberated and the contained, the falling and the floating. She is always in control of form but not imprisoned by its literality. The subject matter becomes the most important - not narrowly feminist, but rather humanistic betrayals of modern emotion. Paige`s work is becoming a valuable keystone for the missing figure in contemporary art. Only in her early thirties, Paige Bradley`s talent and artistic achievements have already gained her much notoriety.
Also on display will be works from our portfolio of European artists. _________________________________________________
