3 Cubes
Dale Rogers Studio
The design for 3 Cubes was inspired by some Christmas wrapping paper. I loved the shapes on it and I set about making a sculpture that would be reminiscent of it.
I am really pleased with the overall impact 3 Cubes has. It embodies my love of abstract geometrics and yet retains a classic feel for the viewer.
This piece with its overlapping rounded squares is very distinct to the Googie movement of art, popular in the 1940's & 50's. It is a timeless style that gives a sense of familiarity to the piece.
I am especially pleased with how the red ball gives the artwork a sense of balance and pop. The contrasting finishes in the Stainless Steel also lend added pizzazz and interest. These 2 themes are favorites of mine and can be seen repeated in several of my sculptures such as Away, Stainless Rise, and I have done variations of Trapped Ball like this as well.
This piece has given birth to Retro Trees.
