Indepth Arts News: "Andrew Logan: Locus - A Convergence of Planes" 2006-05-05 until 2006-05-30 Booker-Lowe Gallery Houston, TX, USA United States of America
A self-taught artist,
Logan currently maintains a studio and foundry in Trenton, NJ, where he
sculpts and casts his own pieces. He is currently scheduled for a solo show
in Dubai in January, 2007, and is at work on a commission for six life-size
pieces for a new home on the exclusive Harbour Island in the Bahamas.
After completing high school in rural Australia, Logan spent seven years
traveling throughout Asia and Europe. During that time, he lived with
indigenous people in several countries, in addition to having lived among
Aboriginal people in Australia. He then returned to Sydney, quickly
establishing himself in the art scene there. In 1996, he was awarded an
artist visa (the so-called "Alien of Exceptional Ability" visa) by the U.S.
government, and began working in New York. In 2000, he moved with his
family to Bucks County, PA, apprenticing at a fine art foundry to master the
bronze casting process before establishing his own studio and foundry in
nearby Trenton, NJ.
Ashley Crawford, editor of the Australian Art Collector and one of Australia
‚s leading art critics, recently wrote of Logan‚s work, „When Logan works in
Carrera marble, the most traditional medium of sculptors for aeons, it melts
under his touch, flowing like soft lava. He makes the hard - bronze,
marble, and timber - soft and beguiling. At times it is clearly sexual; the
female form is rendered with lustful relish, but also with an abiding
respect for beauty. Logan‚s art is an act of alchemical magic, of
transformative poetry, one all too rare in the day and age of mechanical
reproduction.‰
