Blue and Green

About Blue and Green

This playful pop art-inspired indoor sculpture is by Alexander Caldwell. The Calgary-based artist uses a bold colour palette—this piece in lime green and deep blue to accentuate the clean, minimal lines of three circular pieces that sit inside one another. Caldwell uses industrial paints to ensure the finish of his work is flawless; the sheen of this piece reflects light; it is so highly polished.

“… The colour that transforms the industrial origins of my materials has become so important to the simpler shapes of my new work that it’s as if the metal has become an armature for the paint. “ Alexander Caldwell
