Modern Art Metal






On Friday March 5, 2010 Gallery 2622 in Wauwatosa will host an artist reception for Gary Eddingsaas’s upcoming show “Modern Art Metal.” Doors will be open from 6-9pm.

Eddingsaas has been regarded as a Calder and David Smith contemporary measuring his sculptures up to nature, exploring balance and the aesthetics of composition.

“I gain serenity from creating sculpture. I can see how things are going to come together in my mind. Line and shape are very important and have to be clean and minimal with a degree of mobility. With that in mind I like my sculptures to be outside all year and interact with the elements.”

A third generation welder from a blue collar family and coming from a challenging past, this has been his second chance. His focus is to make something positive with what he’s been given. It’s been ten years in the making and even has his kids involved with his work.
