We are delighted to present the sculpture of Jeff Glode Wise via an exclusive online exhibition encompassing a wide-ranging selection of his works. Wise makes wildly exuberant sculptures. He utilizes such diverse materials as steel, wood, stone, glass, concrete, bronze and gold -whichever is the most appropriate for the aesthetic and functional purposes at hand, and transforms them through various techniques: welding, carving, casting, meticulous fitting, plating. The craft is always impeccable (honed for years through his practice of jewelry making) and the concept intriguing.

“The concept of being balanced while riding the very edge of falling off is at the heart of my work”, says Wise. “This applies to my imagery and forms as well, where I’m always looking to shift things beyond symmetry.”

Which leads him -and us- to his playful kinetic sculptures, both delicate ones for indoors and outrageous ones for outdoor settings.

Although not formally trained as an artist, Wise has always made his living through his art. His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions throughout the US and in Spain and Germany, and can be found in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institute National Museum of American Art, Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Museum of Art and Design in New York City, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art in Denver, CO.
