Gordon Huether Studio Releases New Fine Art & Private Commissions Catalog
Napa, California (PRWEB) May 15, 2016 -- Large-scale, site-specific work has long been Huether’s focus before he discovered the intriguing variety of the scale, scope and approach of private commissions and fine art. With his fine art Huether has free reign and the work oftentimes addresses very personal matters. Privately commissioned projects foster an intimate, yet collaborative dynamic. Relationships and collaboration are as important to the artist as his work. “The bond I build with commissioning clients, designers, architects or fine art collectors often develop into valued friendships”.
Huether’s artistic career began with the exploration of glass: studying the interplay between light and color and the artistic possibilities of refraction and reflection. Other media followed, moving between highly refined, elegant materials like polished aluminum and dichroic glass to gritty, repurposed and salvaged materials like rusted steel and weathered wood. Materials used for a project – whether it be a fine art piece, a private commission, or a public art piece - are dictated by the story to be told. The over-riding goal for any project is about shaping a story and expressing an idea, not just about creating an object of beauty.
Privately commissioned work and public art are not about Gordon as an artist, but about the space and the people who use that space. The outcome is always an artwork that is new, unexpected, and uniquely cohesive to its surroundings. The catalog can also be viewed online and is available as a PDF download.
