Free Flowing Forms – Sculpture by Artist Mari-Ruth Oda
Drawing inspiration from sinuous lines found in nature, Mari-Ruth Oda’s sculptures instil a sense of calm and fluidity in the eye of the beholder. Her sculptures are light, airy and curvaceous, reminding me of other-worldly and ephemeral shapes found only in our dreams or in our thoughts. At a gla

An Organic Sensibility – Sculptures by Ceramic Artist Jan Vogelpoel
Rebellious, unique and thought-provoking are just some of the adjectives that can be used to describe Jan Vogelpoel’s ceramic sculptures. She dares to break out of the box with a series of media that ranges from sculptures to hanging works of art. She plays with shapes and colors to make each piec
Moment of Suspension – Sculpture by Spanish Artist Jose Dávila
If you think it’s impossible for a static figure to be in motion, Jose Dávila will make you question everything you believe. His latest exhibit features statues that are combinations of cubes and large rocks, all precariously layered, one top of the other giving the impression that they may f
