About

Inspired by dance and weightlessness, Granville Beals' industrial metal sculptures use raw scrap and metals which he manipulates to defy the expectation of the medium. Beals is passionate about re-purposing industrial scrap to create his art – which he views as a unique form of recycling. The process of re-purposing and manipulating materials that might otherwise be destined for the foundry presents unique challenges that spark his creative impulses.

This balanced, industrial sculpture is 32 inches high by 30 inches wide and 6 inches deep. Beals used steel as the medium for this artwork. It is covered in a clear coating, which enhances the textures and colors of the sculpture. It is signed by Beals on the base. This sculpture can be displayed easily on any flat surface. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Granville Beals was born and raised in Glens Falls, New York. As a teenager he moved to New York City where he received a Ford Foundation Scholarship to study and train at New York City Ballet’s School of American Ballet. The choreography of lines and the dynamics of negative space are elements that inform Beals’ work.

“Metal embodies fascinating contradictions. Within its rigid and dense cold mass lives a warmth and a sensuality waiting to be revealed. The coarse, loud and often brutal process of working with metal combined with the fiery violence of the weld induces a state of surprising tranquility. I often sketch out my ideas for new pieces and other times simply wait patiently and listen for the material to give me instructions.”

Beals’ work is held in both private and public collections. His public sculptures can be found in California, New York, and Internationally.
