David Borgerding
AKANAK, welded bronze, 37" x 98" x 15", 2019
Callan Contemporary presents its fifth solo exhibition of the critically acclaimed sculptor David Borgerding. In his dramatic and elegant welded-bronze sculptures, Borgerding draws from a personal vocabulary of visually and psychologically resonant forms, which speak directly to viewers’ emotional responsiveness. The sculptures begin their time- and labor-intensive journey from concept to completion as drawings, which the artist translates first into cardboard maquettes, and then welds hollow-formed sheets of bronze, often balanced on extraordinarily fine support points— pinpoint fulcrums from which forms appear to rise or expand in defiance of the laws of physics. As a final touch, he adds richly nuanced patinas and randomized linear textures, which engage with light and activate the surface.
The exhibition will be on view from October 1–October 28, with an opening reception on October 5 from 6 pm–9 pm in conjunction with Art for Art's Sake. callancontemporary.com.
