Australian artist Gil Bruvel creates fascinating figurative sculptures using bands of stainless steel ribbons.
Born in Sydney, Australia, in 1959 with an artistic career that spans nearly 40 years, texas-based artist Gil Bruvel creates these figurative sculptures from bands of stainless steel ribbons. The work featured below is a part of Gil Bruvel's Flow series.
I am very passionate about my current expression – Flow Series. It is the culmination of my life’s work. The overwhelming feeling of purpose and expression started with my design of George’s Horse. I wanted to do something new and contemporary, but it wasn’t exactly the idea of modernity that led me to this design.The ribbons with which I was creating lent me direct lines of expression; and with these tools I could finally capture the dynamism and weight I was seeking.
