Bradley Sabin Solo Exhibition at Ohr – O’Keefe Museum of Art

An avid gardener and sculptor, Bradley Sabin finds inspiration through the nature around him. He describes his work as a metaphorical equation to the care and time, which is needed to have a healthy garden to human relationships that also require nurturing and protecting to flourish. Unlike other ceramicists, he works within the natural structure of exhibition spaces, tying these architectural environments into his complex and organic installations. Sabin’s well-honed technique and use of symbolic imagery explores themes of fecundity and fragility as well as strength and protection and emulation of the sublime.

For New Orleans-based sculptor Bradley Sabin, there’s no such thing as too many magnolias; he has a Japanese magnolia in his yard at home, and he’s made tens of thousands of ceramic magnolia blossoms glazed in deep reds, pinks, whites, and metallic blacks. “I have several flower forms I use, but people always gravitate to magnolias,” he says, “and this is a way to bring that nature inside.”

New York’s Voltz Clarke Gallery is mounting “Variations,” an exhibition of linear paintings by artist Joshua Avery Webster, on view in the solarium throughout the Palm Beach season. Additionally, a work entitled Hammon Avenue by Voltz Clarke artist Bradley Sabin adorns the Colony mezzanine, surrounding a scalloped-back love seat upholstered in an exuberant print featuring a swirl of 150 sculptural magnolia blossoms.
