Chris Collins Shattered Wall Sculpture

Creator: Chris Collins
Offered by: Pavilion Antiques and 20thc

Description
Shattered series, found bottles shattered by life in the desert cast in aluminum.

As far back as he can remember, Chris Collins has been a collector of things. From rocks and insects as a child, to boxes of broken technological objects today, he has been attracted to objects that inspire curiosity and wonder. Over time, his artistic practice has utilized this process of collecting and re-presenting. He chooses objects according to their use, form, and context. In many instances, these found objects are molded, sometimes altered, and then reproduced into a new contextually suitable material.
It is the process of collection in itself that fuels his conceptual understanding of the object. His current work examines the following questions by dealing with themes of technology and the passage of time: How will the objects of our daily lives define us through the lens of history? What will citizens of the future think of our legacy of things? What objects will ultimately represent us? Will our technological objects define our culture, and perhaps be its greatest mystery? The objects I create put forth a possible future history.
Chris Collins is a sculptor and found object artist living and working in Los Angeles. Born and raised in Alabama, he received a BFA in painting from the University of Montevallo and an MFA from Memphis College of Art, and has spent the last decade working in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he has been primarily engaged with the metal casting process, working in several bronze foundries and becoming a highly skilled artisan. In addition to art making, he has participated in contemporary discourse as an educator, teaching at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, and through operating Santa Fe Collective, an artist centered gallery space with his wife, artist Jennifer Joseph. His current work deals with themes of technology, science, nature and the passage of time.

Message from Seller:

Pavilion is the collective vision of Deborah Colman and Neil Kraus, both graduates of the master of fine arts program at the Art Institute of Chicago. From a longstanding interest in art and design, frequent buying trips to France and Italy have influenced the direction of the gallery to offer items that are not easily sourced in Chicago and United States. Postwar design has been the focus for 18 yrs and we also look forward to new design that crosses boundaries and dialogues as well to the past
