| About the Artists:Although Art has been sculpting for most of his life, his interest in the medium started when he lived in Schenectady where he studied with Robert Blood, who worked with welded steel at the Schenectady Museum. Soon realizing that welding wasn’t a technique that was easily adapted to home use, Art switched to marble, which could be obtained from quarries in Vermont. Subsequently his move to Long Island prompted his change to utilizing wood and resin for his work. “Almost all my work is carved from logs or constructed using either clay or resin. The carved pieces are generally abstract. I primarily use black walnut, which has a rich, warm color and is local to Long Island. I like to develop graceful forms which relate to each other in such a way that the sculpture displays pleasing positive and negative spaces.” Arthur Bernstein.Edith currently focuses her creative energy on afghans, but she has been interested in art her entire life and defines her work as “following a long trajectory”. Mrs. Bernstein studied painting at Goucher College and at Columbia University School of Painting and Sculpture. For many years she was active in The Art Barn in Setauket. There she taught painting, drawing, and pottery. Later Edith became interested in making soft sculpture, including basketry and macramé. Her interest moved to crocheting, leading to a handmade sweater business designing sweaters and hats sold all over the country, including Henri Bendel and Bonwit Tellers in NYC.For more information on Art Bernstein and his work go to www.bernsteinart.com |
