About the Item
Title: "Leap of Faith #2: Trusting Instincts in Modernist Form"
"Leap of Faith #2" emerges as a striking embodiment of the artist's exploration into the theme of trusting one's instincts. Part of a trilogy of free-standing sculptures, this steel fabrication serves as a visual narrative of transition—an audacious jump from the old to the new.
The sleek and clean lines of the sculpture, hallmarks of Modernist design, echo the ethos of progress, functionality, and efficiency. Drawing inspiration from the aesthetic cues of technology and factories, "Leap of Faith #2" encapsulates the Modernist spirit—a celebration of simplicity and utility.
At its base, the sculpture weaves a visual tale of trial and error, symbolizing the meticulous groundwork and preparation required before taking the proverbial leap. The elements at the base serve as a testament to the challenges overcome and the learning experiences amassed along the way. The deliberate incorporation of these elements underscores the significance of the journey and the inherent risks involved in trusting one's instincts.
The sculpture not only encapsulates a moment of bold decision but also invites viewers to contemplate the broader theme of change and progression. Each angle and curve speaks to the artist's mastery in conveying complex ideas through the medium of steel. The material itself, robust and enduring, mirrors the resilience required when venturing into the unknown.
"Leap of Faith #2" stands as a prime example of how art, can encapsulate profound concepts within sleek and purposeful forms. As viewers engage with the sculpture, they are encouraged to reflect on their own moments of transition and the courage it takes to trust one's instincts in the face of uncertainty. This work is not just an aesthetic marvel but a visual prompt for introspection—a celebration of the bold spirit inherent in embracing change and taking that leap of faith.

Mark Beltchenko Studio
Mark Beltchenko is a Detroit area sculptor that is highly skilled in multiple media. Equally comfortable working in stone, steel, bronze, wood and precious metals his work serves as a meditation on the good and bad in our current lives: the environment, political hypocrisy, positive growth, greed and human narcissism. Much of his work weaves layers upon another in stories through 3 dimensional pictographs. His imagery communicates in ways that are both primitive and profound; both sweeping and diminutive. Beltchenko is not a loud or verbose man but his work screams at us with dire urgency. That is not to say his work is obvious, rather, it is not. It requires effort. One must spend time with the work and breathe into it. You may not immediately recognize the discourse; however allow yourself to linger and as one lingers the layers begin to unfold and reveal its meticulous detail and dialogue. It affects and changes you. Mark has shown in museums and galleries; executed commissions for colleges, churches, corporations, casinos, and municipalities. In addition to producing his own bodies of work he has participated in visiting artist programs and workshops. Mark also creates one of a kind precious metal jewelry for which he has won numerous design awards.
