Meyerovich Gallery is featuring this fall/winter a series of unique aluminum and bronze sculpture by renowned American master of contemporary abstract sculpture, Guy Dill. To view a Dill sculpture is to observe rhythm, symmetry and balance.
This group includes both new and recent sculpture of medium to large scale in aluminum (powder coated) and bronze. These sculptures combining both positive and negative forms that highlight the style for this Los Angeles based artist. Guy Dill: The Transformation of Forms celebrates movement with beautifully blended edges and surfaces polished to a pristine finish.
Born in California in 1946, Guy Dill graduated from the Chouinard Institute of Art, Los Angeles, CA with BFA Honors. He won the prestigious Theodoran Award at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York in 1972. In 1974 he won first prize for sculpture at the American Exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago.
