Fred Prescott is widely acknowledged to be
one of the most important kinetic sculpture artists of our time.
He has been instrumental in the developments of assemblage, or
construction of various pieces, in sculpture. He is widely
recognized for his high level of technical proficiency combined
with the whimsy of his subjects.
Movement and surprise are key elements of
a Prescott sculpture. he surprises the viewer by combining
weighty and massive materials with the viewer's light emotion of
a smile. The technical construction creates weights and balances
to create movement while the thrown paint splatters lend even
more movement to the eye of the viewer. The welded spatial
planes throughout his massive outdoor sculptures create movement
to the eye in ways that leave the viewer guessing about the
angles.
Prescott is constantly recreating himself
yet one can find a common thread throughout his work in the
combination of a passion for life and a passion for sculpture.
