Red Intersection

About Red Intersection

Canadian sculptor Alexander Caldwell is quickly developing an international reputation for his superb contemporary and pop art-inspired sculptures. This large indoor piece is minimalist in form and painted a glossy bright red. Forged from stainless steel the simple shape of three intersecting cylinders has a dynamic presence. The Calgary-based artist is known for the flawless finish of his work and his vivid modern colour palette.

“… 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
