Chris Bathgate "New Works in Metal"
Viridian Artists, Inc.
This event has ended.
New Works In Metal" is a collection of intricately machined metal sculptures created by self-taught machinist sculptor Chris Bathgate. The precision works in this show are the result of the artist combining his unique metalworking style with a traditional approach to sculpture. By combining the math and logistics used in performing the complex tasks of modern machine work with a more emotive and aesthetic problem-solving ethic, Bathgate’s work shows that it is not creativity alone that drives human imagination, but also the need to solve and overcome problems lead to inspiration. Be it through the necessity of his process or arbitrary guidelines set by the artist himself, each work becomes a creative response to a series of mathematical and subjective visual parameters. The result is a precise and other worldly art object that exudes a creative logic all its own.
