Description
"Out Of The Blue" is part the Hammer series where I look to reimagine the hammer beyond its intended use and perhaps shape a different perspective.
I invite viewers to see these works as a metaphor for wide-ranging topics around the human condition: power, persuasion, struggle, conflict, imbalance, even irony, fragility and self-inflicted wounds.
"Out Of The Blue" was created using a process called kerning, a woodworking technique where a series of parallel cuts are made (11 in this case) into a piece of wood, allowing it to bend more easily along a curve. “Out Of The Blue” refers to an event that seemingly came out of nowhere. In truth little in life happens in a flash. Most events, natural or man-made, occur in an incremental way, much like a series of kerfs in the sculpture lead to a moment of impact.
About this Artist
Adrian Pynenburg
Adrian Pynenburg is a contemporary sculptor living in Brantford, Ontario. His organic and rhythmic sculptures pay homage to his diversified skills developed growing upon a dairy farm, training in woodworking and a career that spanned from building custom homes to retail design and marketing. Always curious, he is a long-time Chautauquan who firmly believes in life-long learning. Adrian has combined his passion for working with wood architecture and design innovation into his sculptures. As a fine woodworker he brings the mastery of furniture making and sculpture together. His work appears to defy gravity and nature by transforming wood into undulating forms that advance and recede. Some pieces explore harmony, and other tension and release. What he enjoys the most is forming and bending wood to reinterpret what is possible and, in doing so, engage the viewer.
