Renee Balfour: Nature Unbound Through April 3rd at Amy Kaslow Gallery

In the Galleries

Sculptures as statements of architecture’s past and present

Review by Mark Jenkins

 

                                                    Detail of Her Dream, Cherry, 51” x 12”

 

A painter turned woodworker, Renee Balfour makes sculptures that emulate natural forms, not architectural ones. That doesn’t mean that the 11 pieces in “Nature Unbound,” her Amy Kaslow Gallery show, are rough and craggy. The sinuous shapes are artfully shaped and smoothly polished, and fitted together in ways that emphasize the artist’s control over her material.
