JPerry Castellano's work is inspired by nature. Using organic forms and shapes, his pieces have an earthy quality along with a fluidity that is found like that of nature. Viewers are drawn to each piece by the exquisite way it melds with the outdoor environment it's created for. It is a 48" x 24" x 24" Water Sculpture piece.
quotes by the aritst: "I seek to create a fluidity in my work, which strives to harmonize the inner rhythm of self with the outer rhythms of nature.
In my kinetic pieces, you'll find a joyous dance with the wind, the muses.
In the transition series you see a vortex, fluctuations in forms, the workings of a metamorphosis.
I enjoy sculpting with metal. It adds a dichotomy to the themes of my work. Metal is a symbol of strength and solidity.
I use it to explore the fragile and ever-changing elements of both self and nature."
- Perry Castellano, 2002
This piece I was really drawn to because I would like to make pieces that are just like it and have that flowing water effect, and how its tricking down all the petals. I really like how he tries to captivate nature and how each piece is made for the environment it is put in. He works so well with metal and his craft. I love how each piece drips into another and how there is different vantage points to look at from any angle. Also the bottom rocks give me the idea that I don't need a bowl at the bottom every time I could just make it specifically for outside and use rocks and mulch.
