Archway Gallery presents "Pretty Dangerous: Blacksmithing Steel With Sex Appeal,"featuring new works by Joe Haden. The artist will be present to visit with guests during the exhibition's opening reception.
"Pretty Dangerous"… both words describe Haden’s latest body of work. To Haden, sculpting freely means to create without favoring just one sense. It is not about one specific thing alone, but the entire experience of taking an idea to fruition with fire as his most valuable tool. Each factor excites him as he creates with an intuitive process.
Haden’s latest metal work starts with a single idea and a few pieces of steel, along with a great appreciation of fire. Through his love of the blacksmithing process, he is able to create striking metal art which often has the illusion of being soft; a wonderful contradiction in his work… softness made from one of the world’s hardest materials.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until May 30.
