Items related to CHRIS DRURY
Like fellow artists Andy Goldsworthy and Richard Long, Chris Drury creates art inspired by the wild landscapes of the world. His work falls into two categories: firstly, that made en route in remote and beautiful locations, frequently cairns or shelters; secondly, objects such as meticulously worked baskets, exquisitely formed 'bundles' of bone, wood, leaf, grass, feather and stone, created later from materials found along the way. This magnificently illustrated book is a remarkable record of a highly inventive artist. Kay Syrad's introduction analyses Chris Drury's sculpture against the background of late-20th-century environmental art, drawing parallels with Zen Buddhism and giving valuable insights into the movivations of the artist. Drury is passionate in his appreciation of the natural world as one in which people have their place and have made their mark.

About the Author:
Chris Drury studied sculpture at Camberwell School of Art, London. He began his career with traditional figurative sculpture (busts, animals, birds), but from the mid-1970s has made works in the landscape or from materials that he has gathered. He has had many solo exhibitions around the world, and has contributed extensively to group exhibitions and symposia. He lives in Lewes. Kay Syrad is an educationalist and poet with a special interest in environmental art. She has accompanied Chris Drury on working visits to New Mexico, Connecticut, Japan, Denmark, Italy, the Outer Hebrides and Ireland, and has an intimate knowledge of his work.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Chris Drury creates art inspired by the wild landscapes of the world. He creates two kinds of work: firstly that made en route in beautiful locations, frequently cairns or shelters; secondly objects created later from materials found along the way - meticulously worked baskets, exquisitely formed "bundles" of bone, wood, leaf, grass, feather and stone. This book is a record of a highly inventive artist. Drury's work evokes the essence of each place he visits. In Ireland a delicately balanced cairn on rocks perched high above the sea is topped by the bone of a pilot whale found on the beach to become the essence of his feeling of that particular day, which was one of air and flying. Elsewhere in the book, the spray from a spectacular waterfall in Norway mixes with the smoke of a fire cairn; a 70-foot high vortex made of interlaced struts of hazel and willow sits delicately within the confines of a medieval castle. Kay Syrad's introduction analyzes Chris Drury's sculpture against the background of late 20th-century environmental art, drawing parallels with Zen Buddhism and giving insights into the motivations of the artist. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003251937
