Big Ideas, Small Works: Miniature Sculptures and Maquettes
Thursday November 29, 2007 from 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Sculpturesite Gallery
201 3rd Street, Ste. 102
San Francisco, California 94103 Get Directions
Over twenty-five small works in various media by Noa Bornstein, Terry Kreiter, Duane Loppnow, Frank Morbillo, Jenny Read, Dan Romo, Joseph Slusky, William Wareham and Matthew Zupnick will be on view.

Noa Bornstein is a New York based artist who creates miniature figures cast in bronze. The tiny people display the artist's remarkable skill and craftsmanship.

Terry Kreiter works with what appears to be mechanical magic in his conceptual constructions. Cast in bronze, Kreiter's work is heavily influenced by the Russian constructivists.

In his large works, Duane Loppnow is known for abstract stainless steel forms that are highly architectural. He works in a small scale to design the sculptures, and these maquettes take on a life of their own, not as mere models of the larger work, but like strange designs one might find in a Lilliputian world.

In 1976, the San Francisco Chronicle described Jenny Read, as "one of San Francisco's most brilliant young sculptors.." She was killed in her studio by an unknown assailant at age 29, leaving behind a body of work that continues to inspire. The entire series of her ten "Little People", will be on view.

Don Romo is a Bay Area artist who works in bronze as well as with found objects. In assemblage works, intricate bronze reconstructions of baby doll parts and kaleidoscope-like tubes called "scopes" are beautifully crafted in glass, wood and metals,with tiny worlds inside not unlike life in a snow globe.

East Bay artist Joe Slusky is a well known sculptor working in brightly painted steel. His whimsical abstract sculptures look like fantastical architectural constructions or colorful strains of DNA.

Matthew Zupnick's work is allegorical in nature, and based on his interest in world events and human interaction. He generally works in bronze, steel and wood, telling dreamlike tales in edgy, Bosch-like works.

All of the work will be for sale, and available to take home or ship for the holidays.

Free.
