This is a sculpture of a group of flowers on a dogwood tree..  It is made out of 9 gauge (about 4 mm diameter) low carbon steel wire that I bend by hand and weld, then powder coat gloss black with a weather resistant material. It is easily installed.inside or outside on permanent anchors according to instructions I provide. The piece is signed with a thinner wire.

I make wire wall murals for public, commercial, and residential locations. The wire pieces are the final step in a simplification process that starts with a photograph or group of photographs. I make and remake a digital line drawing to emphasize only the essence of the subject, then, like the poet who reviews every word, I re-examine every turn and curve as I bend the wire into a sculpture. The final installation, a solid line in space in front of a moving shadow, has scale enough to suit a large wall without dominating the room.  My work has been purchased by collectors from all over the world.

About The Artwork

I am fortunate enough to live in an area of East Texas where the dogwoods are plentiful in the early spring. They are one of the first ornamental trees to bloom. Sometimes the blooms come out before other trees leaf and it looks like snowflakes suspended in midair among the wooded landscape. This is a sculpture of a group of dogwood flowers that had recently opened. Their blooms are large as they were on the tree. The sculpture is made out of 9 gauge (about 4 mm diameter) low carbon steel wire that I bend by hand and weld. The sculpture is then powder coated gloss black with a weather resistant material. It is easily installed inside or outside on permanent anchors according to instructions I provide. The piece is signed with a thinner wire. I make wire wall murals for public, commercial, and residential locations. The wire pieces are the final step in a simplification process that starts with a photograph or group of photographs. I make and remake a digital line drawing to emphasize only the essence of the subject, then, like the poet who reviews every word, I re-examine every turn and curve as I bend the wire into a sculpture. The final installation, a solid line in space in front of a moving shadow, has scale enough to suit a large wall without dominating the room. My work has been purchased by collectors from all over the world.

Bart designs and builds both large and small custom wirewall art using 9 or 12 gauge annealed steel wire. He welds his wall sculptures for strength and stability and has them powder coated with a UV protective covering for endurance. Bart, originally from the Netherlands, graduated from Boston University and attended classes at the NYU, New School for Social Research. Bart’s mediums as an artist have included photography, silk-screen, lithography, acrylics, oils, clay and stained glass. After seeing an exhibit of Alexander Calder’s wire art at the Whitney Museum in NYC., wire became his new medium of choice Bart’s art style is figurative. He says this style helps him to express what’s most important in life, the simplest things, things we cherish. Like holding someone’s hand, taking a bath, watching people at work or kids at play, the beauty of the human figure or the things we enjoyed in our youth now can become our joy. Wire sculptures pictured here are powder coated gloss black. They are also available in color, slightly larger or smaller, with minor changes, using the same drawing as a guide. Inquire for details.
