Gallery Artists: D.E. McDermot

Sensual form is the hallmark of D.E. McDermott's work.  Cast in fine art bronze, with various patinas, McDermott's sculpture captures both an elegance and a simplicity.  These bronzes represent, in the artist's words, "a wonderful moment when ones perception and ideas fall away and the form leads you toward a harmony of its own." 

"My aim in making a sculpture is to create a form of the figure abstracted to some degree.  I want to keep the form figurative while searching for an interesting way to model it in the clay.  I try to minimize detail and look for long, fluid lines whenever possible.

In a 'mother and child' bronze, for example, I'd like the viewer to have, not only an emotional response to the relationship portrayed, but in addition, an appreciation of the 'sculptural' lines and form of the figures."
