Red Water

About Red Water

This impressive large round contemporary wall sculpture is by Alexander Caldwell. The wave-like water pattern of the stainless-steel piece is coated in a glossy red paint which accentuates its dynamic form. The Canadian artist has garnered an international reputation for his masterful sculptural work which is often inspired by nature and science. To achieve a flawless finish, Caldwell applies many layers of industrial paint to the steel.

“Whether seeming to levitate against a wall or hover off a plinth, Caldwell’s sculptures become a skillful play on visual surprise and pleasure.” Winsor Gallery
