Upward Bound: welded steel sculpture. New life forms are invented. They fly; are of steel that soars. Farm implements, cast iron metamorphasizing into wall sculptures. Carol Goebel's pieces are light and airy, but weighty with a formal pressure that underlines their ballast.
Upward Bound: welded steel sculpture
Denise Bibro Fine Art, 529 W. 20th St., Chelsea, New York, and Ceres Gallery, 584 Broadway, Soho, New York, are pleased to announce solo exhibitions of gallery artist, Carol Goebel, Upward Bound: welded steel sculpture.
New life forms are invented. They fly; are of steel that soars. Farm implements, cast iron metamorphasizing into wall sculptures. Carol Goebel's pieces are light and airy, but weighty with a formal pressure that underlines their ballast. 'Her objects are whimsical and delicate despite having been made of wicked-looking items: scythes, pitchforks, exhaust pipes, harrows, and spades........creating a weird and esthetically pleasing confluence of the beautiful and dangerous,' writes Arlene McKanic in Artnews. Thirteen shows after her first exhibition, 'Spirit Tools', Carol Goebel is creating a consistent, constantly changing sculptural vocabulary.

She has participated in numerous artists' panels and has had her work reviewed in publications such as Artnews, The New York Times, New York Newsday, Arts Magazine and M/E/A/N/I/N/G, Duke University Press.
