Christopher Holmes - Abstract Sculpture

I first saw Po Shun Leong's incredibly intricate wood pieces on display at a gallery in Concord, MA. I worked nearby and stopped in occasionally on my lunch break to check them out. They had his larger furniture pieces on display and all cost several thousand dollars.

Years later, a shop in Newton, MA was going out of business and I snatched up one of his small art boxes at a more reasonable price.

Just recently I saw a couple of his boxes at The Real Mother Goose shop in the Portland, OR airport.

This book is full of great pictures of his work, so it's worth a look even if you would never attempt one of these projects yourself. There are many used copies available for just a few bucks.

Here are a couple of Setziol's pieces at Portland Art Museum.

I was excited to discover an exhibit by local sculptor Leroy Setziol at Portland's Museum of Contemporary Craft. Our sculptures share similar themes of natural wood and abstract geometric forms.

The exhibit itself is just a few pieces in a display case. The photo highlighted in the exhibition listing isn't even there--it's a wall panel in their administration office. I just happened to notice it walking by the office's glass door.

Read the description through to the end, though, and you'll see that the Portland Art Museum has a larger exhibit of 23 of his pieces. However, there's no mention on their website. Fortunately the museums are close to each other and I was able to see both exhibits on Saturday.
