No Customer Reviews
An intimate look at this highly acclaimed and popular L.A.-based contemporary designer and artist, who marries old-world techniques with a modern twist, and is best known for his exquisite craftsmanship and detailed creations in bronze, porcelain, and crystal. David Wiseman is one of the leading American designers of his generation. Produced in collaboration with the artist, this monograph offers an in-depth look at his work, through Wiseman's extensive archives, documents, and illustrations. The book features photographs of his unique sculptural objects and environmental installations, plus views of his studio and process--where the unfinished sculptures and sketches reveal a true portrait of the artist at work. The book also shows readers many of his immersive creations that are in private homes and are rarely photographed. Wiseman's goal is creating work that brings nature indoors, ranging from small objects and sculptures to expansive installations. His signature Radial Branch chandelier, made of bronze and sculptured porcelain, is cast from fallen tree limbs he acquired on hiking trails in Los Angeles. His signature patterns and motifs reveal his deeply rooted love of the natural world--which is evident in designs ranging from faceted blow-Bohemian-glass crystal tumblers and porcelain vases to rugs, dining room tables, stools, and benches.
