A new leaf gallery | sculpturesite is pleased to announce the exhibition “BODYworks,” on display from Oct. 6-Dec. 22, 2013. An opening reception will take place at the gallery on Sunday, Oct. 6 from 2-4pm. “BODYworks” showcases recent figurative sculpture in wood, ceramic, bronze, resin, concrete and steel by ten sculptors.
With this show, the gallery welcomes artist Judith Stewart. She received her BFA from Syracuse University and her MFA from the University of Illinois, and after teaching painting at the University of West Florida, Stewart turned to sculpture when she moved to Arizona in 1991. Her featured artworks include three bronzes and one major clay work. New York-based Carole Feuerman is widely recognized as one of the world's most prominent hyperrealist sculptors. In this recent piece from her Swimmer series, “Balance Bust,” Feuerman began with a life cast of a model, which she reproduced in resin and painted with dozens of layers of oil paint to achieve much more than the true color of flesh: the very impression of its presence. Architect-turned-sculptor Carol Schwartz is presenting two new portraits of children carved from laminated pieces of wood. Their polychromatic, textured surfaces exude a vibrant energy while their expression is soft and pensive.
Also included are recent wall-hung groupings and individual pieces in ceramic, bronze or resin by New York sculptor Emil Alzamora; bronze and steel figures in architectonic settings by Dina Angel-Wing; a series of bronze maquettes by Curt Brill; white ceramic work by Tyler Burton; Mark Chatterley’s abstracted figures in his new bronze-like glazes; pedestal size figures in concrete by Frances Semple; and Peter Schifrin’s bronzes with a silver nitrate patina in his Wings series, part of his “Silver Lining Mother F*cker” series.
