Double Dancer

Novice and seasoned collectors will be delighted by the Lyman Whitaker art on display at the Marcus Ashley Gallery. The Utah-based sculptor’s works are inspired by natural shapes and forms. For example, Whitaker’s copper wind sculptures are inspired by the classic soothing colors of the desert. Rich copper and blue elements give his larger-than-life sculptures a surreal effect and energy. It’s no surprise that his wind sculptures are a highly coveted addition to outdoor residential and commercial spaces.

The metallic elements of Double Dancer swirl to a silent rhythm and mechanical flow. Whitaker’s superior craftsmanship and attention to detail emerge beautifully through this piece. He shares how his artistic process begins with paper cutouts before he moves on to molding, pounding, forging, and welding the different parts. His extraordinary imagination and deep understanding of kinetic energy allow him to push the boundaries of creativity.

Double Dancer will look stunning in an open field, desert national park, backyard, or commercial district. The magic of Whitaker’s work lies in how it never fails to impress viewers with its elegant design and dynamic beauty. Double Dancer will add a playful yet grand twist to any outdoor space it is placed in.
