This is an absolutely fantastic intricately carved abstract wooden sculpture by listed Oklahoma artist David Anderson (1931-2006). It is a three dimensional ring form mounted on a wooden base all done in walnut, polished smooth. It is signed on the bottom, side edge “D. Anderson” and dated 1987. It is well thought out with curves and edges in all directions. It changes form as you turn it. In excellent condition with no problems.
Bio courtesy of Pierson gallery, (Tulsa, ok.):
David Anderson is known as a leading 3-dimensional abstract artist. He utilized fiberglass and epoxy resin, woods and bronze in his artwork that will range from a few inches tall, to outdoor and lobby sculpture that are twenty feet in diameter. He was represented by numerous galleries and his work is held in private and corporate collections throughout the United States, including Price-Waterhouse and by best-selling author Clive Cussler.
Born in Jamestown, New York in 1931, David Anderson moved to Tulsa with his family in 1936. After serving in the United States Air Force, David enrolled at The University of Tulsa, studying under the direction of Alexandre Hogue, the chair of the art department. He earned his BA degree in commercial design in 1964. To pay his way through college, he began striping cars with ornamental scrollwork. His artistic style and reputation spread beyond Oklahoma and his designs began appearing on classic Rolls-Royce and dirt track race cars from New York to Los Angeles, many of which are displayed in auto museums across the country.
An art professor at The University of Tulsa, Dwayne Hatchett, encouraged him to express himself in the three dimensional world of sculpture. Discouraged at first because he could not do what he intended with clay, plaster or metal, he turned to fiberglass. David Anderson mastered the fluidity of movement, the rhythmic vitality, and the permanence that fiber glass/polyester resin offered to him. There are few that have touched his mastery of the mold. less
