Jim Felice's SMOKE STACKS in the Sculpture Field - 2009

Jim Felice’s steel "Smokestacks," purposefully created as "urban rust" add a gladiator presence to Sculpture Barn's field. His aim to attack the surface exemplifies industry under siege.
 

The Sculpture Field’s 4-acre grassy slope exhibits outdoor sculptures year round that harmonize with the rural landscape.

Visitors are welcome to stroll the grounds Wednesday - Sunday, noon to 6 pm, during regular Gallery hours.

Additional artists are invited to exhibit their work on a long term basis.

2009 artists include David Gelfman, Jim Felice, John Ferguson, J. Pindyke Miller, Glenn Zweygardt and Sharon Wandel.

Founder / Exhibited Ongoing
David Boyajian


I often work on a series of sculptures inspired by plant forms found in nature on my property here at Sculpture Barn.

My most recent series of pieces, the Unfurlings are inspired by young ferns. My intention is to capture the rhythm of their metamorphosis with my forms rather than depict them realistically.

Suspended Birds

Sharon Wandel s a longtime Sculptors Guild member who joins poetry and nature with the metaphorical and realistic in her bold, but delicate bronze sculptures.

Her work often embodies the universal symbolism of freedom - the bird.

Elected to the National Academy of Design, she has always enjoyed creative adventure that inspires her work; for example, an unique opportunity to show in Japan, study the language, study the culture, and interpret the experience in her art and expression

Glenn Zweygardt, professor emeritus of Alfred University works with bronze, glass, stone and steel to accomplish extraordinary, symbiotic "constructs."

His "Liminal Gateway," a major highlight of Sculpture Barn's outdoor spread, entices one to enter, to move forward with strength, but with a succinct lightness.

J. Pindyck Miller, a self-billed constructionist, a sensation-sculptor who seeks to create a "presence that shares a space."

His aluminum wind sculpture, a central element of Sculpture Barn's unique outdoor retrospective, enjoys the sense of movement that recalls the spirit of the Wright Brothers or Robert Fulton or Eli Whitney. Movement is ever timely, by its nature.

SPIKED BALL - 7'x4'x4' - Flame cut steel

 

 8 Pointed Star
20'x8'x3' Flame cut steel

David Gelfman's star series' portals, flame cut out of plate steel and bolted, reflect our need for an iconic heritage as we move ever faster into the 21st century.

Gelfman’s work underscores our sense of time, "being in the now," and knowing there is that mysterious universe, a machine we have yet to fathom.

David Boyajian: "Working primarily in steel, I employ a certain amount of energy in the way I define my shapes, and that varies as I increase the scale. 

With my large seed forms, they open, reach out, and grow quickly. Particularly inspiring are the stem structures … elongated, narrow, delicate, finally overpowered by the seed masses they support.."

My sculpture is created in wax, cast in bronze, and highly finished with a wide variety of patinas. The current series deal with the multiplicity of metaphors related to the Bird."
