About the Item
"Fugue" is an elegant, elongated figure forged from fluidity itself. Its bronze surface shimmers with warm, earthen hues, catching light along every curve as though the piece is breathing. Ribbon-like forms twist upward in a continuous, organic ascent, evoking the sensation of motion captured at its most ephemeral moment.
The composition feels both grounded and weightless. At the base, a slender stem anchors the work, from which smooth, sinuous shapes unfurl and diverge, looping and folding back into themselves. These forms resemble petals, wings, or fleeting silhouettes—suggestions rather than declarations—inviting the viewer to interpret the dance of shapes freely.
There is a tension between delicacy and strength. The bronze, inherently solid and enduring, has been coaxed into lines so soft and fluid they appear almost liquid. Its surface bears subtle patinas: deep russet, muted gold, hints of verdigris. These variations give the sculpture a sense of age and natural evolution, as if it has weathered seasons of light and shadow.
Overall, the piece conveys a spirit of ascent—growth, emergence, transformation. It feels like a visual metaphor for music, movement, or the intangible pulse of life. It stands not simply as an object but as a moment suspended, an invitation to follow its upward flow and lose oneself in its quiet, dynamic grace.

Dave Stevenson
Dave Stevenson has sculpted in studios in Massachusetts, California, Montana, and the Caribbean. He chose these spots for their ready access to snowboarding, surfing, and climbing, activities he cites as Inspiration for the signature fluid contours of his work.
Stevenson’s public art highlights include his monumental bronze Acrobat located outside Brandywine Realty Trust’s corporate headquarters at FMC Tower in Philadelphia, PA (PelliClarke Partners Architects). Over the years, Stevenson has collaborated on commissions with acclaimed musicians, filmmakers choreographers. Notable private collections include those of Pfizer, Inc., James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment, and the violinist Joshua Bell. Charitable work includes projects for the William J. Clinton Foundation and Parkinson’s Unity Walk.
A graduate of The College of William and Mary, Stevenson is represented in Chicago by Gallery VICTOR. The sculptor splits his time between a small design studio in Manhattan and a larger live/workspace in the Catskills.

Spirit - Abstract Geometric Form, Hand Painted, Welded Steel Sculpture
By Chris Hill
Located in Chicago, IL
This dynamic table sized sculpture is created from sheets of steel, welded together in an abstract geometric pattern and then painted with an acrylic paint to enhance the surface. While the work adheres to a rigid, rational geometry, this sculptures suggest lyrical movement, apparent weightlessness and improvisation as the title suggests.
