Project 3- Robert Klippel

The Art

I wanted to represent an artist that would reflect on Newtown's experiental, boho type feel. I thought to do this I would look at recycled and industrial art, this lead me to Robert Klippel. Robert Klippel was fasinated by structures and components of organic and mechanical forms forging correspondences between the two. As well as working with metal he used wood, plastics and also produced paintings.

Architecture and Art

Due to his fasination with machine versus nature I looked to Coop Himmelblau and Richard Goodwin for inspiration. In particular there use of a metal exoskeleton and glass to achieve a sculptural machine-like composition.
