| Featured Artist Steve Prachyl "Art in Brushed Steel" |
| The obsessive nature of my art lives loudest in the millions of lines I carve into a slab of metal. I enjoy the sensation of becoming awestruck at just how three dimensional metal can be when I step back, to observe from various angles and positions these effects generated by the refracted light. Tripping out a bit at the thought, I realize optical art is brain candy. Most often my imagery is inspired by the fleeting glimpse or a complete realization of what I'd like to see which leads me to the creation of the image in real time, with real materials and real processes. Often my art work becomes an experiment; testing and trying to achieve the illusive imagery or memory present in my minds eye. My intent is that the viewer should get a chance to drift off into hypnotic thought, perhaps into a trance like state. Or at the very least achieve a sense of euphoria. |
| "Every piece I make starts out titled "simple motion study" Always following the same rule, "use fine abrasives on a grinder and one rectangular sheet of aluminium", I more or less sketch on the surface of the metal. Creating three dimensional sculpture under the guise of two dimensional drawing. I am searching for crisp form, distinct movement and fast flowing line." |
| "Better still, I want my work to generate an immediate sense of movement, with a tinge of vertigo as the ultimate goal." |
