Matt Moulthrop Art

American

Matt Moulthrop is a third-generation woodturner and has spent his entire life surrounded by wood. As a young adult, he learned the artistry of woodturning comes not from the hand, but the eye. Being able to “see” the shape of the bowl has been a legacy and a gift that he has worked to improve upon with his vision and version of style, form and texture. Moulthrop strives to blend both tradition and innovation by honoring his legacy and creating a new one. Each piece he creates is a unique experience for both him as the maker and hopefully the viewer as well. He endeavors to fully display the beauty and richness of the tree and story it has to tell. Wormholes convey past life, rings communicate growth, and certain colors tell the story of death by lightning or blight. Moulthrop sees it as his job to tell the story, showing rather than talking, lengthening the life of the tree rather than ending it. Moulthrop’s work is included in the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, Minnesota; the Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, Arizona; the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, Michigan; the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia; among many others.

Barca Pez (Fish Boat) - wood sculpture by Chilean artist Pilar Ovalle
By Pilar Ovalle
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
Chilean artist Pilar Ovalle's sculpture "Barca Pez," or "Fish Boat," is crafted with driftwood collected from lake shores in Chile combined with dimensional Alerce, a native Chilean wood. It can be suspended as shown or a custom bracket (not included) can be designed based on the site to make it into an exciting wall sculpture. In Ovalle’s imagination, boats embody animal forms, reinforcing the imaginative versus physical nature of the boat as a representation of travel. Ovalle says of her work, "As I work directly with Nature, combining wood already ‘worked’ by wind, water and time, with ‘elaborated’ - sawn - wood, I do this with a critical scope, dealing with ecology and progress, with emotion and poetry somehow set against rationality and technology, or setting ‘wisdom’ against mere information." This sculpture is suspended from two wires, but could also be wall hung with a custom bracket (not included). We would be happy to assist with the design of this custom bracket. Ovalle traveled to Southern Chile to study with boat builders and learn the traditional skills of the trade, which is evident in the graceful curve of the hulls she has built with traditional joinery and wood "stitches" and without the use of nails. Born in Santiago, Chile, Pilar Ovalle began her studies in 1989 at the Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo de Santiago. She studied with the Instituto through the early '90s, during which time she also won Third Prize at the XV Concurso de Arte Joven (Young Art Contest) and received grants from Fondart (National Fund for the Arts) for her projects “Sculpture with Shattered Wood” and “Curved Wood Sculpture...

"Mini Droplet Set", Contemporary, Ceramic, Sculpture, Wood Platform, Porcelain
By Perry Haas
Located in St. Louis, MO
Perry Haas is a ceramic artist making functional pottery and focusing on wood-firing techniques. Drawing from a love for the wood-fired ceramic surface, Perry looks to anticipate the manner in which ash in the kiln will collect in different arrays across the convex and concave surfaces of his gestural clay forms. “I approach making with a childlike spirit of experimentation and exploration. My work stems from a love of the wood fired ceramic surface, particularly how it evokes many beautiful natural phenomena. Like imagining the way wind gathers and deposits leaves on a landscape according to changes in topography, I anticipate the manner in which ash will collect differently on the convex and concave surfaces of my gestural forms. These functional pots are developed as a place for this surface to exist and to be enjoyed as a part of our daily life.”—Haas "Mini Droplet Set", Contemporary, Ceramic, Sculpture, Wood Platform...
