Curtis
Weatherall's work is best described as material abstraction.
He concerns himself with the representation of the natural and
industrialized world through the use of mixed mediums.
Recently commissioned to design the Lifetime Achievement Award
for the International Sculpture Center, Weatherall's work has
been exhibited throughout the United States as well as in
Bluff View Art District.
"My work
is generated from a framework of ideas that have their
beginnings rooted in nature and industry. Through the use of
material and subject matter I attempt to create a harmony
between objects and notions that typically don't share any
common ground. The linear quality of a tree limb, the delicate
veins of a leaf or the shear physical presence of a brick
building are aesthetic elements that interest me. They drive
my visual vocabulary of form and material. Growth, boundaries,
chance and hope are the primary thoughts that guide my
direction. I attempt to create and hopefully leave a sense of
these notions in my work."
