Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft presents Wendell Castle. Forms Within Firms, an exhibition on view through February 4, exploring the proliferation of sculptural ideas manifested in Castles last decade of work.
From wood and fiberglass to concrete and metal, Castle began the 21st century by creating complex sculptural furniture, inventive interplays of solids and voids that offer a heightened sense of movement, and endless perceptual opportunities. Within these works, Castles decades-deep understanding of balance, weight and material is underscored by a renewal of ideas. The exhibition in Kentucky illustrates how during the first years of the 21st century, Castles drive to create unencumbered iterations of sculptural form and mass took a step forward. – www.kentuckyarts.org
