Discover the Beauty of Australian Contemporary Art with Lucas Guilbert's Collectable Sculptures
Lucas Guilbert is an Australian contemporary artist who creates exquisite sculptures from reclaimed wood. His works invite us to contemplate the relationship between the organic and the man-made, and they are not just beautiful objects but also convey stories of trees that have grown for decades, being uprooted and given a second life as a stunning sculpture.
Guilbert's sculptures are perfect for luxury interiors and contemporary design spaces. Each piece is unique and carefully crafted, making them a valuable addition to any collection. His wood sculptures are created from materials such as blackwood, Stringybark, and hardwood sleepers, all salvaged from natural and urban environments.
Sacrum, one of his most outstanding pieces, is a wood sculpture made from the centre slab of a gnarly, old and twisted Stringybark. The wood itself greatly contributed to the creative process, and the thin steel support flexes with the smallest vibration, creating a pendulum motion. The piece captures the essence of the natural world and invites the viewer to contemplate the tree's journey.
Ceta is another of Guilbert's wood sculptures that explores the relationship between wood and metal. The piece originated as a hardwood sleeper, part of a workbench, and Guilbert's skillful carving and inlay of resin and existing metal inclusions created sinuous shapes that echo marine life. The piece is balanced on an angular steel base that allows it to be rotated, presenting a variety of forms and corresponding shadows.
Leaf is a wood sculpture that captures the journey of a tree and the essence that remains after its usefulness has waned. Guilbert created this piece from a tree that was grown wild and harvested in Canada, shipped to Australia, and stood as an oversized beam in a church hall for a few decades. The piece is a finely balanced equilibrium between vertical and horizontal forms, evoking mineral concretions, biological networks, and plant geometry.
Mul is a wood sculpture that invites us to think about the microscopic cellular structures that we are constructed by and how they differ from the forest of trees or the bed of mussels. The piece is created from a centenarian C. maculata slab from a tree removal in Northcote, Vic, and encourages us to contemplate our place in the world and the exchange that exists between living things.
