TONY ANGELL | ALOFT AT REST
In Pursuit, 2/2, bronze, 17 x 19 x 3.25 in.

There is a curious reciprocity between the artist and the subject. The subject becomes the teacher/instructor, revealing secrets, posing questions and fashioning mysteries as I try to pay it tribute in the work. It is an ongoing adventure I hope to sustain to the end of my days and I remind myself that while science can tell us what is probable, art can explore the possible. -- Tony Angell |
Aloft and At Rest, new sculpture by Tony Angell, celebrates 50 years of exhibiting with Foster/White. Angell's representations of birds provide both scientific accuracy and a virtuoso sense for the inner temperament of his subjects to convey their intangible spirit and resilience.
