NEW WORK

DOLPHIN FISH

(27.5” L x 10”H x 1.5”H)

This sculpture was a new direction for me.  My first aquatic form ever.  I used an application called brazing instead of welding metal like I normally do.  You will notice the golden color that shows the brass element from brazing.  I put a finish on it which is the photo below.  I enjoyed the process experimenting with a different subject matter.

"Etheric Ocean" 

24"H x 36"W 

Original Work printed on Metal

$550.00

I started experimenting with adding color theory to sketches from my sketch book.  This led to a few test creations on metal that turned out to be very interesting.  It is difficult from this image to see it but the print on metal creates a multidimensional viewing platform.  The first dimension is the reflection off the piece from outside sources like light and shadow.  Then the design of the piece rests with a color palate diverse in color theory playing with space and form.  Finally there is a hidden layer behind the design that reflects subtle hints from the sketch on the next page in the sketchbook.  

The work got accepted into this juried show and will be on display until September 7th.

"Warrior”  

(4.5” W x 18.5” H x 3.75” D) 

 Welded Steel - 2023

The warrior stands in his power, fearless to any adversary.  It is holding a scepter and a shield representing a ceremonial transformation into the infinite expansion.  Staying in the moment keeping up to speed with who it is becoming.  The finish is a gold luster lightly sanded with a clear finish.

 

"Ancient Weave #1"

(7” W x 31.75” H x 5” D)

Welded Steel, Woven Copper -2023

The art of weaving has been around for thousands of years.  There are many different names for weaves and patterns found in weaving.  This series is representative of the ancients who would weave with found materials such as Mohave Yucca, coastal yucca and the century plant.  I have cut strips of 1/4” copper sheet and wove them together to form a gown like shape.  I learned how to weave baskets from an 80 year old Yavapai Apache elder who came out to the cliff dwellings one Sunday afternoon to show the tourists the process.  I watched and studied her for hours that day and for the next two weeks all I did was weave baskets small and large.  With this sculpture I was curious to see how a different medium like copper would conform to the process so I worked with the strips of copper sheet as an experiment.  The form at the top of the sculpture took on a feminine feel combined with the woven copper it feels like a woman in a dress. 

“Ancient Weave #2”

(6” W x 25.5” H x 5.5” D)

Welded Steel, Woven Copper -2023

This is the second sculpture of the series.  It has similar forms only this one turned out more masculine. Together they form a couple suggesting they came from an ancient village traveling to share stories and trade goods. 

"The Hunter"

(18” W x 36”H x 13”D)

Welded Steel-2023

The hunter is holding its bow ready to strike at any moment.  I cut into the steel to form fingers on the side.  I intended that section to look like a hand holding a bow.  I had to cut a bow shape in half and weld it to both sides of the piece to look like one solid piece.  I felt like it gave the eye line more space to move horizontally as there was good vertical energy that needed to break up.  The finish turned out incredible on this one. I hand sanded the steel to bring out the texture and under coat paint color.  I like the golden metallic paired with the sky blue color. It was a great experiment that turned out nicely.

Charcoal Drawings

This series of charcoal drawings is called "Formula One".  The series is about the relationship between electromagnetic frequency and how it interacts with human form transcending the polarities of duality.

About the Artist

Spirit Canoe #1

Metal Sculptor Greg Bressani, a California native, discovered his passion for sculpture while learning the fundamentals of welding Thirty years ago. Growing up in the bay area and on an island in the Puget sound of Washington state, Greg finished High School and attended the Academy of Art College of San Francisco to pursue his metal sculpting career.  After his college years a passion for exploring the south west led him to Sedona Arizona where he worked as a park ranger at an ancient cliff dwelling and rock art site for eight years.  This experience ignited his creative process as he continued to weld inspired by visions he had at

Spirit Canoe #2

certain rock art sites. Greg utilizes recycled parts from old farm machinery, cars, motorcycles, copper and other random found metal objects to emulate his artistic style.  His curiosity of traveling to sacred archaeological sites to receive visions for the sculpting process fuels his spark for inspiration.  This spark ignites his creativity, which materializes into three dimensional form creating sculpture.  “Arc welding is a very intense process.  Working with the energy of electricity at 220 amps and fusing the metal connects me to a powerful universal intelligence that translates into the sculptures.”  His work has been exhibited in a number of shows including the CAPP Street project of San Francisco, Santa Clara Olympiad of the arts and the Ventura museum of history and art.  He also expresses his artistic talents through other mediums such as leather cuffs, photography, charcoal drawing and primitive technologies.  Greg currently resides in Rimrock, AZ  where the abundance of high frequency energy fuels his creative process.
