Jedd Novatt Biography

American artist Jedd Novatt is a sculptor of international renown. Novatt plays with gravity, weight and balance piling open-space squares and overlapping unequal edges. Monumental sculptures pave international indoor and outdoor sites daringly entering in relation with space. Novatt seizes the raw qualities of materials, such as steel or bronze, to magnify their own notions of purity, power, permanence or stoicism. Instability and irregularity engagingly give rhythm to the cubic matrixes liberated from geometry as the latter is deconstructed, dislocated and emptied. The complexity of the structure defying physics and human apprehension sets new hypothesis in the history of abstract sculpture placing doubt in the centre of the artistic quest.
