Artwork Description

LONGHORN

8.0 x 8.5 inches

Longhorn is a mixed media painted sculpture on a marble stone base. The materials used are various metal objects that were selected because of their shapes, being congruent to the four design elements in nature. Again, some objects are found and hand made. The brass cleat gave the title to the sculpture, reminiscent of the Texas cattle. The arrangement on the base is attributed to each objects size, shape, and individual visual statement of contrasting forms. The spaced relationship also demonstrates an artistic concern for the overall scheme presenting a visual geometric form. The introduction of solid line and a coned point was used to suggest a recorded message. A kinetic mechanical relationship was implied with a minimalistic approach demonstrating our social machine age. Color, although important, is considered as a secondary element to enhance the sculptures fulfillment. The sculpture is scaled for a larger architectural aesthetic envision.
