Gallery Exhibition | "Poems, Folklore and Ghost Stories"About the Exhibition
Reminiscent of artists like Isamu Noguchi, David Nash, Giuseppe Penone, and Martin Puryear, Fred Rose captures a spectrum of traditions in wood from utilitarian woodwork to carved and assembled wood sculpture. He delightfully engages the viewer with a variety of intriguing woodwork techniques of which the boundaries of each are often blurred. His apparently functional work, such as a wooden bowl, more often than not, unexpectedly becomes a sculptural statement of the adaptive powers of nature and the human effects on our environment. Concurrently, Rose’s clearly sculptural and assembled pieces act as visual poetry professing the nature of the physical world and the quirks of humanity.
