‘Aeolis 2’ is an exceptional example of Bruce Beasley’s most recent work. It marks a departure for Beasley both in its ability to bring physical gesture to sculpture through working with virtual reality, and in its curvaceous and flowing form that marks a move away from his earlier cuboid forms.
Persistently pushing the boundaries of sculpture-making throughout his career, Bruce Beasley’s use of cutting edge technologies, combined with almost six decades of experience in making sculpture, positions him as the pre-eminent godfather in the use of digital technology in sculpture.
Born in Los Angeles in 1939, Bruce Beasley attended Dartmouth College from 1957-59, and the University of California, Berkeley, from 1959-62. Bursting into the art world in 1962 at the height of the abstract sculpture movement, he has since then been exhibited worldwide in a great number of solo & group exhibitions, receiving international acclaim. He was one of the youngest sculptors to be collected by the Museum of Modern Art, New York in the ‘60s and has since worked on numerous commissions, and his work is in the permanent collections of 37 art museums, including the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the National Museum of American Art, Washington, DC, the Musée d'Art Moderne, Paris, the Stadtische Kunsthalle, Mannheim, Germany, and the National Art Museum of China in Beijing.
