Casper Brindle
Framed Refraction II

About the Item

Framed Refraction II is a freestanding piece with a rotatable base. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor display. The color shifting paints on the center panel shift from green to black on one side and purple to black on the other. The sculpture measures 67" in height and the base is 40" square. Emerging from a history of innovative West Coast artists, who pioneered the Finish Fetish and Light and Space movements, Brindle has mastered the industrial materials at his disposal - airbrush, auto paints, resin, wood. Borrowing tools and techniques from the industrial complex of California car culture, Brindle applies paint to the surface of his Strata paintings in multiple layers of fine airbrush sprays. The high gloss, resin finishes appear to liquify the shimmering stratums of color beneath and the effect is intoxicating. Atmospheric gradations of color are encased in hardened surfaces in a constant push and pull between depth, light and texture. Capturing the effect of light purely with color is where Brindle excels as a painter. Immersing the viewer into luminous, chromatic fields, these paintings transcend the representational suggestion of land and sea, evoking something more elemental, like vast & infinite horizons rushing across time and space. Casper Brindle grew up surfing the beaches along LA's coast during the 1970's and 80's, and worked for Light and Space artist, Eric Orr, in the late 1980’s. His work is in the permanent collection of the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation in Malibu, CA and has been exhibited at the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, CA the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, CA. The artist currently lives and works in Los Angeles. This marks Casper Brindle’s fifth solo exhibition at William Turner Gallery.

  • Untitled
    By Koji Takei
    Located in Santa Monica, CA
    Creating sculptures of exquisite peculiarity is an art in which Takei excels. His elegantly crafted works embody the notion of the whimsical, contradictory and idiosyncratic. There is an immediately detectable sense of humor and quick wit about the sculptures in this exhibition. Beyond playfulness, however, Takei’s aim is to challenge the viewer to alter the way in which they look at reality. Taking cues from the Surrealists of the early 20th century, Takei transforms the mundane into the fantastic - and sometimes absurd. His work is a constant inquiry into the meaning of functionality and the perception of purpose. Much like Man Ray’s iconic readymade sculpture, The Gift (1921), and Meret Oppenheim’s infamous fur-covered teacup (Object, 1936), Takei recontextualizes those pragmatic objects that we immediately recognize. With his piece Soft Shoulders (2011), Takei deconstructs a wooden clothes hanger...
