September 27, 2009. On 43rd & 3rd I went into a bare storefront space for the Recession Art Sale. There were many beautiful works, and if you go to The Art Point, you can see the names of many of the artists involved. Of particular interest to me though, was this work by Charles Seplowin. Along with this large piece, were half a dozen smaller works. It looked like he warmed, twisted and molded metal into fantastic shapes that metal shouldn't be able to achieve. There were two, Batik and Gutter, that I especially liked. The shapes, the curves and sharpness of the angles. And then I found out they are made of styrofoam! The play of the forms in the light, the raised edges and then the smoothing back out to a flat plane. I loved these pieces.
