Artist: John Gelder | Location: Athens, GA
Athens, GA
John Gelder is a sculptural artist and woodworker currently based in Athens, GA. His current body of work combines metal fabrication with wood bending to create life-sized, figurative cultures with an anomalously abstracted aesthetic. The concept of memory and the way that it shapes our perception is a frequent source of inspiration in Gelder's art. The delicate and tense nature of his sculptures are a reflection of the fragility of the mind and a call for a conscious reverance of this fact.
