Metal sculptor Rainer Lagemann began his career as an artist when an exploratory foray into welding quickly became an obsession. Square by stainless steel square, his graceful shapes take form with each metal fragment playing a significant role.
A twist or turn of any one part can breathe life into the sculpture. The shadows cast imbue each piece with a secondary layer of beauty, abstraction and mystery.

Abstract art by Austin Kerr takes a childhood fascination and shapes a contemporary vision. Involved in his family’s furniture business at a young age, he explored high-end finishes with a creative eye and studied European techniques, eventually transforming them into art. Today, Kerr’s signature Venetian plaster paintings experiment with color interaction, layering, glazes and gradients to bring his vision of how architecture, cities and human landscapes are aged by nature. Unforced, organic and soothing, his art is to be touched. Kerr’s Venetian plaster paintings capture nature’s pursuit of aging.

The colorful graphic depiction in Sunbird.
Artist Carlos Antonio Rancaño’s work is saturated with bright, warm colors and sharp, rigid brush strokes. The strict rules of design give way to his paintings.

Self Love, above, is part of Mick’s series on one’s self-reflection that uses the motif of circles to animate the twisting emotions we feel about ourselves.
Sean Mick’s abstract art goes beyond the mere visual as he captures sensory observation through geometric constructs, interpretive motifs and color harmonies. Each of the artist’s pieces reveal life’s experiences that shape what we are inside: our contradictions, hopes, addictions, ego, love, self-awareness, doubts — all part of a complex composition that exudes a type of wavelength, vibe or presence that is projected outwards. Mick’s work draws from the intangible by way of what we can’t see but feel.
