“Apple”, Leo Sewell‘s new sculpture is a fascinating mix of recycled objects skillfully joined together so that it reads as cohesive pop form. Having grown up near a dump, Leo Sewell early on appreciated the value and joy that comes from collecting other peoples discarded bits and pieces and creating a unique work of art. Composed of dozens of articles including, a cake pan, part of a bell, various straps and metal plates, if one looks closely, one will also discover small items such as a guitar pick, a tiny toy train, and a greek coin. While it takes craftsmanship and patience to create a unified whole, this artist has not lost his sense of humor: a plate from Appleton Electric Co. adorns this multimedia assemblage. Measuring 18x15x15 inches, “Apple” is appropriate for table, pedestal or floor. Click to see more found object sculpture by Leo Sewell.
