Morgan Shimeld Biography
The work of Blue Mountains based sculptor, Morgan Shimeld, is primarily concerned with the complex arrangement of abstracted minimalist forms. He works intuitively in a creative and meditative process, striving to find a natural sense of strength and balance in his work. His sculptures, characterised by attention to structure and form, hold a powerful presence while maintaining a subtle quality of understated elegance. Shimeld’s work, incorporates cast, welded and fabricated bronze and steel, his work is highly technical and precisely finished. The artist’s aim is to draw the viewer in, creating a relationship between the spectator and the space in between. His practice is informed by the art movements of Minimalism, Formalism and Geometric Abstraction.
Morgan’s work has been sourced and collected by art consultants, architects, interior designers and private collectors in Australia and overseas.
