NSG placement  #524 Update: 7/21/2020: Coming soon to Downey, California... ​"Tree of Life" by Clay Enoch and the National Sculptors' Guild is in the finishing steps of bronze casting at Art Castings of Colorado.  This installation is part of a series of Public Art placements that the City has commissioned from the National Sculptors' Guild for installation in 2020. The bronze and stainless steel sculpture will be placed in the new fountain at the Theater Plaza.  Our design team began working on this project in March of 2019.  Measuring 12-feet tall and 14-feet in diameter, the tree composed of eight life-size bronze figures outstretched from a single column are united by the stainless steel rings that they hold; this sculpture is among our most complex figurative monuments to date. We are so excited to see this significant art statement in place. We will update this post as soon as installation is set.  Progression of the project is shown below...

Update 9/30/2020:
Update 9/30/2020: "Tree of Life" by Clay Enoch and the National Sculptors' Guild is on the truck and heading to Downey, CA. We are excited to see it in its new home at the center of the new Theatre Plaza. The 14ft bronze and stainless steel sculpture shares the truck with three other sculptures that the Guild is installing in Downey's downtown. 

It has always been John's motto that "Sculpture is a Team Sport"... It was an arduous task to load this complex sculpture. Arguably the most difficult loading we've experienced in our 28 years. It includes an engineered steel cradle, crane and rigging with pinpoint accuracy, and a team of people that coordinate well together. (this is just to load it on the truck; wait for the install) Everyone rose to the occasion. Special thanks to everyone involved... Tony Workman and the Art Castings staff, Dennis Henderson of DC Crane, John Eisenman Transportation, Zach Pennington of Blackeagle Fabrication, Jim Lambert and Shipper's Supply, Western Steel and Boiler, Russ Martino and Adam Granath of Martino and Luth, Josef Kekula and the City of Downey, CA, and of course Clay Enoch and John Kinkade of the National Sculptors' Guild. With the right people in place, we can achieve anything.

Stay tuned for the install pics in a couple days.

We are so excited to see this significant art statement in place. We will update this post as soon as installation is set.  Progression of the project is shown below...

This installation is part of a series of Public Art placements that the City has commissioned from the National Sculptors' Guild for installations in 2020. The bronze and stainless steel sculpture will be placed in a  the new fountain at the Theater Plaza.

Our design team began working on this project in March of 2019.

Measuring 12-feet tall and 14-feet in diameter, the tree composed of eight life-size bronze figures out stretched from a single column are united by the stainless steel rings they hold; this sculpture is among our most complex figurative monuments to date. We are so excited to see this significant art statement in place. We will update this post as soon as installation is set.

Infinite Dance by Carol Gold, Downey, CA

Carol Gold with her sculpture
Coming soon to Downey, California...
​"Infinite Dance" by Carol Gold has been cast at Art Castings of Colorado and awaits its installation in California. 

This sculpture is part of a series of Public Art placements that the City has commissioned from the National Sculptors' Guild for installation in 2020. 

The larger than life bronze abstract figure joyfully dances on the top of a stainless-steel ring. The shape of a circle holds deep symbolism, referring to concepts such as: inclusion, unity, wholeness and infinity. The overall 14-foot tall piece will be placed on Downey Avenue as soon as we can safely install. 




Carol's siblings have been inspired by her sculpture, below are their creations. 
INFINITE DANCE by James Rosenstein

"Those arms outstretched speak to
listeners, telling them they’re home,
telling them that however they began,
whatever clay golem they may have been,
whatever hard toil they may have known,
there is something holding them together,
more than separate parts,
more than always more;
the infinite motion of the captured moment
brings them peace and helps them thrive on
the simplicity of what is there, is there.

This joy of dance tells trees their limbs,
swaying in whispers of breeze
bathing in rain
enamored of red and gold,
are reaching as well their destination,
telling them their roots
have given them what they need to grow,
what they need to know.

Harsh winds can whirl about
with stories of what should be,
of what should not be,
pulling us away from what is there,
from what brought us here.
And when we discover where we are,
Raise our arms and dance!"
Carol Gold with her sculpture

INFINITE DANCE  by Alice Spatz
"The sculptor's hands weave a spell that opens up her heart,
and the clay reveals her stories as she molds every part.

The dancer raises her hands, as she looks toward the sky;
balancing on one foot she moves forever in a dance of joy.

The sculptor's hands weave a spell that opens up her heart,
and the clay reveals her stories as she molds every part.

Balanced on the circle she dances on the top;
the circle holds the earth and sky – the dancing never stops.

The sculptor's hands move with grace, like a dance upon the clay,
and her joys replace her sorrow as the years melt away.

The circle holds the dancer, the day, the night, the years;
the circle holds the sculptor's love, her laughter and her tears.

​The sculptor's hands move with grace, like a dance upon the clay,
and her joys replace her sorrow as the years melt away."

“Mockingbird/Orange Tree” by Michael Warrick and the National Sculptors’ Guild is installed at The Groves Whittier in California. The 18-ft Stainless Steel stylized tree sculpture features a half dozen gold-leaf oranges and a single mockingbird. We are thrilled that this installation was able to be completed during less than ideal circumstances due to CoVid19. Our team worked well alongside Brookfield SoCal to install the sculpture. It was important to get it placed so that The Groves can complete their land and hardscaping and complete this beautiful new community. Thanks for everyone’s great effort! We hope the piece becomes an iconic centerpiece for the neighborhood and can’t wait to see it finished. ​#MichaelWarrick #NationalSculptorsGuild #WhittierCA #TheGroves #MockOrange #Sculpture #PublicArt #WIP #Installation #SunnyCalifornia #BrookfieldSoCal #StainlessSteel #GoldLeaf #Process

In the background is a partial view of the 45K sq. ft. facility that I have a space in south of Little Rock. -Below are a few images of pallets of parts for the tree project. The second photo has a wooden template for the base plate of the sculpture. This will be mailed to the concrete contractor that will do the footing for the tree project at the appropriate time. -A photo of setting up the triple concentric rings that become the spheres that go on the tree form. -Next, a photo of the lower and upper tree trunk forms bolted together. You can see one of the sphere’s near the trunk and one in progress on my work table.

The intention behind these multi-focal sculptures is to open dialogue of how we can transform ideas/statements/actions through a simple change of one's own perspective. As the viewer approaches the artwork from one side, they see the form of butterflies emerge, from another angle, the word "homeward" becomes clear.

Homeward/Monarch by Joe Norman and the National Sculptors' Guild is 12 ft tall, fabricated in stainless steel and paint. Look for it on the corner of Downey Avenue and 2nd Street, Downey, CA

Young Israel of North Beverly Hills Holocaust Memorial

Update 01/09/2019: Installation Day. The National Sculptors' Guild is at the Young Israel of North Beverly Hills installing a Holocaust Memorial. Designed by John Kinkade and Dee Clements. Installation is nearing the finish line as we post. We are honored to create such an important element for this beautiful Synagogue and its members. 

Special thanks to Judith Garshofsky who has been assisting with coordination every step of the way. It was also wonderful working with Rabbi Pini Dunner on this important memorial.

Special thanks to Judith Garshofsky who has been assisting with coordination every step of the way. It was also wonderful working with Rabbi Pini Dunner on this important memorial.  3/15/17: The National Sculptors' Guild has been commissioned to create a Holocaust Memorial for Young Israel of North Beverly Hills. The memorial is planned to install this fall. ​In order to give the sculpture both mass and overall symbolism, we elected to use the Star of David. As we vision it now, the star will be assembled using six equilateral triangles with one edge of each triangle tightly fitted to the center hexagon. Although we are using the Star of David as a modern symbol of the Jewish community, the individual triangles were used to identify prisoners during the Holocaust. We have therefore separated them as a subtle reminder. The star will be made of stainless steel with a soft gold bronze patina. It will be mounted on the existing wall at an angle with a framework that will not be seen. The two points on the left side of the star will touch the wall and the two points on the right side of the star will be approximately 10 inches from the wall. This will give the overall sculpture additional dimension with the use of negative space. It also highlights the theme of taking darkness to light that is represented in both symbolism and color.   Three themes are depicted on the surface of the star: the Holocaust, the Liberation, and Creation of the State Israel.  ​ Each will be silhouettes cut from stainless steel enhanced by relief sculpted cast bronze overlay. The color will go from matte charcoal grey and dark patina on the left (Holocaust) to medium grey and french brown patina in the center (Liberation) and finally polished stainless with a bright patina on the right (Creation). This graduation of value reinforces the symbolism of coming from darkness to light.  Imagery will include prisoners behind barbed wire, a Shofar and a representation of the Horah, the  Kotel with figures in prayer, along with the flag of Israel. Verse will accompany each theme.
