John Brickels has been creating architecturally-themed sculpture for over 30
years. Inspiration for his meticulously crafted buildings
comes from weathered Vermont barns, New York City rowhouses and
Industrial Rust Belt factories.
Stoneware clay, with its malleable qualities, is the perfect medium for
replicating barns that "bend but don't break," and urban buildings with
tittering water towers and crumbling facades. All sculptures are
one-of-a-kind and fired to over 2000 degrees in an electric kiln. At first glance, John Brickels' buildings, machines and robots may seem un-related, but by infusing each piece with a gentle narrative and subtle humor his diverse body of work reads as a whole.
