DAN FREEMAN - sculptor
Since 1972, sculptor Dan Freeman has expressed his fascination with different materials in the form of sculptures and objects juxtaposing natural and man-made elements. The interaction of textures, colors and forms create a dialogue between the artist and the materials from which Freeman's work emerges with a distinctly recognizable semi-abstract style.
"My work is a continuing self-portrait. It's human. It's what holds me together - a little bit of color and tension. As an artist, I have a vision of how elements relate and how they should flow together. For me, it's a real direct line... splicing together elements in a singleness of purpose," Freeman said.
Dan's work consists of both indoor and outdoor sculptures and objects. Outdoor pieces tend to combine welded steel and stone, while work for indoor display often includes the addition of various local woods and branches.
Aesthetically, Freeman has been influenced by modern, abstract-expressionist painters such as Barnett Newman and Ellsworth Kelley, and by sculptors like George Rickey and Henri Moore.
