"Olympian" Unique Steel Mesh Structure
About the Item
Born in Edinburgh, David Begbie studied at the capital`s art school from which he emerged with a unique sculptural technique and the beginnings of a new visual language using steel-mesh.
Since his graduation in 1982 he has worked almost exclusively with the human form, primarily sculpting in steel-mesh but also producing monoprints, etchings, ink and charcoal drawings, mixed-media work and photographs.
His distinctive steel-mesh bodies display a Fine sculpted detail of musculature and form which has been compared to that of Michelangelo and Rodin. In Begbie`s hands, the wire mesh is imbued with a liveliness and sense of movement that is further enhanced by the use of shadow play with strategic lighting once the sculpture is displayed.
Since 1979, Begbie`s work has been shown in galleries around the world and he has been commissioned to produce both interior and exterior installations for corporate buildings, museums, churches and as public sculpture. He also works on a range of collaborative projects with architects and interior designers.

- Jim Rose Barn House Structure, Welded Steel Object Made with Salvaged SteelBy Jim RoseLocated in Chicago, ILThis is a welded steel sculpture made by furniture creator Jim Rose. It is sustainable design created from salvaged and recycled steel panels left over from his larger projects. These sculptures reference traditional American Folk Art barn house models or bird houses. This sculpture works alone on a shelf or table or can be grouped with other house sculptures by the artist. Each house sculpture is unique in design and color. Jim Rose Structure #168 found steel with natural rust patina and paint 6h x 4.50w x 2.50d in 15.24h x 11.43w x 6.35d cm Jim Rose b. 1966 Bio Born in Indiana, Jim Rose lived in Europe until he returned to the United States to attend college. After one year at Bard College, Jim transferred to the School of the Art Institute in Chicago (SAIC) where he graduated in 1988 with a BFA. His skillful interpretation of the Shaker design is a result of intense research and field study of Shaker furniture, architecture, culture and history. After over two decades of dedicated work, he has mastered the minimalism of the Shaker technique and created his own unique visual vernacular. The quilts of Gee's Bend have become a monumental influence taking this artist's work to new levels of unique interpretation and artistry. His selection of aged steel results in a patina directly related to that of aged wood while his colored strips beautifully mimic worn cloth. Each piece of furniture is masterfully made and intended for daily use. Jim Rose’s steel furniture is featured every year at SOFA Chicago for the past 25 years.
