Greg Kucera Gallery is pleased to present our eleventh one-person exhibition of sculpture by Seattle artist Edward Wicklander. Wicklander is a craftsman of diverse talents. His work involves many different techniques including wood carving, blown and cast glass, metalsmithing and welding, bronze casting, and an intriguing combination of materials. Wicklander sees his forte as his “ability to use very different materials to their greatest advantage.”
“My work exploits the way metal can be made to look soft or the way wood grain creates patterns and colors on the surface of a sculpture. I use a wide range of materials and techniques. It is the interplay of these diverse materials and the varied ways of working with them that directs the outcome and imagery of my work. My sculptures evolve and new possibilities are revealed simply by using my hands and experiencing the rhythm of work in my studio. ”
