The American artist Fred Eversley, his work of aerospace engineering to achieve art, died in 83rd on March 14th. David Kordansky galleries, in 2018 began to replace the artist, confirmed the death of the artist, which made a brief illness.
With a five-decaddle career, most of Eversley is closely linked to California’s light and space movement in the 1970s. His sculptures, cultivated from resin and bright, transparent features, are inspired by scientific phenomena. In recent years, the artist began working with stainless steel. In November 2024, Eversley presented its largest public installation, a parabolic steel sculpture of 16.5 meters Portal (2024), West Palm Beach, next to the first historic church of Christ, Christian, designed by the architect Julian Abele.
Born in Brooklyn in 1941, Eversley promoted science from the young age. His father, worked as a aerospace engineer, studied Eversley electric engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. He graduated from the program, at the time it was the only black student. After graduating, Eversley worked in Wyla laboratories, supported by the Apollo Missions of Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Before becoming an artist, Eversley began to form relations with artists around Los Angeles. He offered technical advice to artists and space artists like Larry Bell. His life took the turn in 1967 when his car fell. While recovering about 13 months, the artist Charles Mattox entered the polyester resin. 1969. For the year, he took the studio John Altoon in LA, where he began to make his parabolic sculptures. Shortly after Eversley decided to leave his work wylera and follow the full-time art.
Eversley’s work was inspired by his scientific training. Its parabolic resin was known for the sculpture, but he was interested in various forms of other forms, such as dead stars or black holes. He began with small sculptures; However, as his career progresses, his works were growing. Examples of these sculptures include eight foot heights “cylindrical lenses”, recently displayed in the DAVID Kordansky gallery in 2023 and 2024.
He chose the first artist of the Eversley Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in 1971, 1981, 1981, in 2017, and Rose in Waltham, Massacham, Massachus Arte Museum 2017.
In 2023, Eversley presented one of his greatest work, Parabolic light (2023), a transparent resin sculpture of 12 meters high, Doris C. Freedman Plaza in front of the New York Central Park. The sculpture was ordered by the public art fund. In the same year, the University of Carnegie Mellon gave him the Eversley Fine Arts Medical.
