Ken Kelleher
Hand Drawn Sculpture, 2023
THE ARTWORK
Hand Drawn Sculpture blurs the lines between two and three-dimensional art forms by merging the fluid, gestural lines of drawing with the tangible presence of sculpture. Crafted from interlocking steel, the dynamic and abstract composition creates a playful exploration of the relationship between these mediums. By challenging traditional art forms, the artist invites viewers to engage with the piece on multiple levels, unraveling new layers of meaning and complexity with each encounter.
