Bart Soutendijk







Bart designs and builds custom wall art out of wire – a favorite drawing medium -- for public, commercial, and residential locations. Bart' s whimsical wire wall hangings are the final step in a simplification process that starts with a client-suggested description, pencil sketch, photograph, or group of photographs. He makes a drawing
(making it as continuous a line drawing as possible) to emphasize only the essence of the subject and gets approval to make the wall sculpture. Then, like the poet who reviews every word, he re-examines every turn and curve as he bends the wire into a wire wall sculpture. The final installation of the wire wall piece, a solid line in space in front of a moving shadow, has scale enough to suit a large wall without dominating the room.
