A couple of weeks ago when I came to Huntsville to visit Wade Wharton, he wanted me to meet a couple of his artist friends. One was the pique assiette artist Bill Wilson, and the other was John Farrer, who does silkscreen and paints:
sculpts wood:
does inlaid wood:
carves stone, including Minnesota soapstone (flat on the table):
sculpts metal:
makes assemblages:
…and does *all* kinds of designs for residential, commercial, and public projects. High profile pieces. This was a gate that was to be at the Alabama Veterans Memorial:
…here he is showing Mr. Wharton a model of the sculptural piece designed for the memorial:
…and today I saw it in person. Wow. It makes the space.:
Nice.
Looking up from the base:
Architect friends, art friends: send me an email for his contact information…
