About the Item
" Inspire ". This unique sculpture was created with sand cast aluminium and cast glass mounted
on Colorado sandstone.
t is certified authentic by the Artist´s Jennifer Baker and David Marshall.
The collaborative work of glass artist JB, and metal sculptor DM, represents the natural joining of the artists and their respective mediums. The respect for each other’s art evolved into the works that reflect the shared expression of how the forms of nature - the rocks and mountains, the ice and water, the expanse and randomness - inspires them and forged their artistic bond. The complex relationship of the human experience and impact on the natural world wove itself into the basis for these works that explore the relationship of the spires and granite faces of mountains that rose from the basement of time worn by the handprints and boot marks of women and men, driven by reasons unexplained in a race to the top. Climbers, fragile glass figures holding tight to metal-hard rock, are balanced in space, a tactile experience that demonstrates respect but also leaves a mark, an ambivalent expression of a deep emotion that will injure either if one gives way. From the top, it’s not clear who the winner is.

David Marshall
RECREATE, REGENERATE, RECYCLE After 54 years since my first show I am still fascinated by working in 3 dimensions – maybe because I cant draw or more likely because sculpture holds some obtuse subconscious obligation. It is still addictive and highly satisfying despite the onus of molding, casting, welding, polishing, fitting in a tough work environment before the final satisfaction of seeing the piece come together as envisaged. Living in the Mountains provides the creative impetus, being surrounded by rocks, rivers, the detritus of erosion, geomorphology and all natures destructive force has inspired an eclectic, very personal and organic bias to my work – an appreciation of random forms, diverse textures and all the unexpected creativity of the natural world where no line is perfect. Working first as a welder on a thermos electric plant in the mountains behind Bogota in 1962, then non ferrous studies with British Oxygen and a move to Spain 1965, coupled with a fascination for travel and different cultures has led to carving in Thailand, casting in Java, hammer welding in Rajasthan, silver in Bali and wood in Ghana. Life has been a wonderful learning curve thanks to artisans around the world who have taught me their inherited skills and techniques leading me to a fusion of materials and helping amplify the creative possibilities in my work. At “ Space Gallery “ in Denver, Colorado I will be showing a collection of my latest work, brought from Spain but inspired by many visits to your magnificent “ Rockies “.

- Probability Deep Blue 4 - elegant, curved, abstract, glass, wall sculptureBy John Paul RobinsonLocated in Bloomfield, ONJohn Paul Robinson creates original contemporary wall sculptures from coloured glass that are filled with light. This piece features elegant arched deep blue tubes of glass that are polished to a smooth finish and overlap one another to create a dynamic composition. The Canadian artist often explores themes related to how the world works. This is one of a series intended to represent the dual nature of light as both a particle and a wave. In physics, the wave nature of light is referred to as a "probability wave". “The thickness of the glass and curvature of the lens conspire to create their own optical effect. As your gaze moves across the piece it causes the small grains of coloured glass to shift just a bit. Starry Starry Night...Category
