Thomas Beale is an accomplished New York-based sculptor and curator. He founded and directed the Honey Space, an innovative “no-profit” gallery in Chelsea, from 2008 to 2012. Starting with found and reclaimed materials, notably wood and shells, Beale processes them into small, workable units, which he then assembles to create the organic and sensuous shapes of his sculptures. The diversity of those individual segments lends richness and a sense of movement to both his large and small-scale work.
ArtYard acquired two of his large pieces for our future building. We look forward to seeing them in their permanent location. And talking about our future building, I cannot wait to share details about that ambitious project in the future. Stay tuned!
PS. There was a problem with the comment feature on this blog, but the issue has been fixed already.
This is thoughtful, mysterious, beautifully crafted work.
That’s right, Katya. The artist’s relationship with his work is also special. There is a story behind each piece.
