Stephen Porter
Robert Kidd Gallery is pleased to celebrate artist Stephen Porter, who is best known for his elegant geometric sculptures. Porter has been creating sculptures for nearly five decades, his art has had an impact on both our urban and home environments. These sculptures can be found adorning gardens, interiors, installations, and corporate settings.
His sculptures explore the pure language of geometrics and are characterized by carefully balanced design and meticulous craftsmanship. Porter explores the complexity of his creations by using a variety of materials including stainless steel, bronze, granite, and laminated hardwood. While the glossy surface of his mirrored stainless steel sculptures beautifully reflect their surroundings, in contrast his colored pieces celebrate their dynamic in the space they are in with festive joviality. Scale runs the gamut from small tabletop pieces, to large outdoor architectural installations.
By fusing beautifully organic fluid lines along with a sharp geometric form, Porter’s work can be seen as a triumph of the human spirit these dignified complex aspects make one marvel at the skill of his creative practice.
