Force in Form: Bronze Sculpture by James
Lee Hansen
Exhibitions of paintings and drawings
by Robert C. Jones and bronze sculpture by James Lee Hansen opened September
3, 1999 at the Museum of Northwest Art. Both shows run through November
28, 1999.
Force
in Form is a retrospective exhibition of Battleground,
Washington sculptor James Lee Hansen's career. The bronze, highly polished
work, stands bold and strong. Each piece speaks a different tale of the
influencing indigenous elements -- Native American, Greek and Asian, which
give the artist his inspiration. Some forms in his series, Equestrian, Shaman
and Guardian, are unmistakably recognizable while others bulge abstractly
and stretch out into space, only suggesting representational form.
