6. Totem

Taylor Fawcett/ St. Charles, MO

This artist is drawn to the human condition and is fascinated by the idea that there are experiences we share that elude linguistic explanation. This work is focused on idiosyncratic moments of human nature, and it communicates a universal quality at its most basic level. This sculpture is a fabricated steel piece representing an amalgamation of bone and soft tissue forms. The patina emphasizes natural decay of rusting steel. The tall, stoic form gives us reason to pause and contemplate our own being.

7. Hoodoos

Joan Benefiel / Brooklyn, NY

The artist is best known for her expertise in both traditional and cutting-edge sculpture materials and techniques. Since she began piercing forms, Benefiel has been seeking ways to break up opacity and bring in the light to her elongated figures. Increasingly interested in maximizing the interplay of color and shadow, the artist began experimenting with translucent resin. By combining the resin with COR-TEN steel, her public artworks glisten in the light while secured on a base of a naturally eroding steel surface. Inspired by nature’s dramatic geological wonders of the same name, this modern medium makes Hoodoos a vibrant contemporary work.

8. Colossus

Egor Zigura / Kyiv, Ukraine

For Egor Zigura, the influence of ancient Roman, ancient Greek, and ancient Egyptian sculpture cannot be overestimated. Each has had an influence in determining his interpretation of the human figure. The artist focuses on a visual culture, one that is less formal and more contemporary, more exciting. As a creator, he has developed different ways of perceiving and creating reality. His artistic practice has drawn him to traditional materials, e.g. bronze; his artistic language has been formed from life in Ukraine.
