Paul Braun Carvings Featured at Lanning Gallery
|
|
Lanning Gallery, right in the center of the Gallery District, will be showcasing the stone sculptures of Paul Braun, harking back thousands of years for inspiration. Braun has become known for his intricate, mystical carvings, from tabletop-sized pieces to totems that can stand up to six feet tall, each of which has been inspired by the artist’s detailed study of the ancient constructions of Europe. After graduating from the Cleveland Institute of Art in the late 1980s Braun had the opportunity to use a traveling scholarship to study these megalithic structures in Ireland, England, and other European countries. Stonehenge, New Grange, and Knowth were among the mysterious stone formations that had a dramatic influence on his work. Whether working in steatite alone or a set of contrasting stones such as black soapstone and limestone, Braun seeks to allow the natural beauty of the stone to reveal itself while he explores the balance between natural, polished and textured surfaces. "I feel that sculpture is about creating form in which the artist exhibits control, balance and mystery,” Braun says. “I enjoy working in the abstract because it allows me the freedom to explore the material - it offers the opportunity to highlight the natural beauty of the stone in unique ways.” Celtic designs, both intricate and subtle, complement Braun’s organically shaped elements as his body of work combines age-old concepts with contemporary forms. An intrinsic passage is expressed in Braun’s sculptures, one that is simultaneously ancient and alive. Collectors, local and international, have placed Braun’s work both inside and out, allowing gardens and entryways to be graced as easily as living rooms and foyers with the subtle and dramatic presence of these sculptures.
