Untitled Digital Image

I have enjoyed very good sales of photographs and digital images over the years. The last several months in particular have been exceptional despite the poor economy.

This image is part of an experimental body of work that I am presently working on. I am printing these images 20" X 30" and transferring them to canvas. I also plan to apply bees wax and resin over the top to give them a hand painted quality and appearance. I have done similar work in the past on a smaller scale.

The advantage to this process is it will be possible to make multiples therefore allow more affordable pricing. I will however make no more than ten of any image and only one at a time. In essence a limited edition print hand applied enhancement.

These will sell framed for $600.00 whereas an abstract painting this size would be twice as much or more.

Stay tuned for more....................

Sculpture by KV Abbott

These pieces have been posted here before, but I have been getting interest in some new projects and thought this would be good to show prospective clients. Both are steel fabrications made of mild steel, cut, shaped, welded and powder coated. These two pieces are both out door sculptures that are mounted on top of concrete pedestals which are sitting on a footer. (click on an image to view larger)







The piece at the top is titled "Organica" and is installed in front of the Central Square, NY Public Library. The sculpture was made possible by a grant from the New State Council for the Arts, (NYSCA). "Organica" is a modernist style piece inspired by a piece of sea weed I found on a beach in Nova Scotia.

The second piece is titled "Of Course It Is". An Ayn Rand inspired modern,industrial statement that stands over 9 feet tall on it's pedestal and is 54 " wide at it's widest point.

I currently have two residential projects pending and two public projects on hold due to funding.

I am happy to design sculptures for interior or exterior settings and work can be done in stainless steel, *Corten and the painted mild steel shown here.

Pricing is determined by design, size and materials.

*Corten steel is a steel that actually rusts for a natural aged look. The steel will only rust to a certain point and then due to chemical reactions actually hardens.

Triangles and Arches, 1965, Empire State Plaza, Albany

I was in Albany yesterday and was just stunned by this Calder piece at the Empire State Plaza. Alexander Calder has long been one of my favorite sculptors. This piece is so powerful with the reflecting pools and the Ayn Rand, "Fountainhead" inspired modern architecture towering behind it.

"Average Gangsters/Average Politicians" SOLD

This collage was done back in the early 1990's but I thought it was a good time to bring it out of retirement. This piece is part of a large series from that period and touches on a little political commentary. I nearly named it Republicans and Democrats but.............. I guess that's just the Libertarian in me!

Next week's "Guest Artist" on TIMEFORFRIDA, Brooke Mcgowen will offer up some tasty and timely political commentary art. Good Stuff! Make sure to check it out.

"Home Again" by Kevin Abbott II

"Home Again" by Kevin Abbott II stands over seven feet tall and is made of ice and snow on South Main St. next to our gallery in Central Square.

Perhaps wanting to express his joy of being home again and inspired by the documentary film "Rivers and Tides" by Andy Goldsworthy. Kevin set out to use the ice and snow he had just removed from the porch roofs of our building at 628 So. Main St.

The sculpture evokes the spirit of Winter Carnival and is reminiscent of Stone Henge.

Nice job Kevin!

*"Rivers and Tides" is an award winning documentary film by British artist Andy Goldsworthy who makes incredible art out of stones, twigs, leaves, you name it, even snow and ice.
