Art Review


I like to take time to review some art here in Atlanta. These are a few things that caught my eye and rubbed me fancy. Well I would like to start with the mixed medium sculptures created by Rachael Zaudke Wilkins. These mixed medium horses are the perfect combination of copper and ceramics. These elegant sculptures capture the movement and strength of real equine, as well as exploit elements with the exaggeration of the legs, which allow the negative space to bring out the motion of horse. The ruff texture of the ceramics echos with rust of different colors that you would traditionally find on copper, bronze, and other metals. Check out more at www.zaudkesculpture.com

Next I would like to place my shades on to look at this one. This is unique as well as functional piece of art. I like to call it Chang's Chair but I am not sure if that is the title. It is composed of 1/2" acrylic laminated with wood grain, which is then illuminated from underneath. Chang always has a way of impressing his audience and we will see more reviews of his visions.


I went to this Modern Design show at the old Uhaul Lofts at 10th and Howell Mill a few weeks back. They have gutted what use to be real lofts and are in the process of giving them a face lift. Seems to be the trend here in ATL, but moving on to what was inside. Lots of nice modern, sleek, mid century design through out the exhibit but I was drawn to this mocha cabinet with a bamboo top, a pull out drawer in the center at the top, and below is a fold down door which allows access to the inside, flanked by suicide doors. The bamboo top proceeds around the side which reflects like sound waves across the surface. You can visit www.clearinc.net for more info and portfolio review of custom design furniture.


I would like to get a glass of water now so until then I will see you later and thanks, your comments are welcome.
