Art Ave

Celebrating the arts, LiveDAYBREAK & the Daybreak Art's Council set to host the 3rd annual Art Stroll

ABOUT ART AVE
Art Ave began as an initiative of the Daybreak Arts Council in 2019 and is a yearly rotating outdoor public art display. Artwork of all sizes may be submitted, and artists at any experience level are encouraged to apply. As part of this program, the community is invited to come see the artwork at an annual Art Stroll event and throughout the year. Artists whose pieces have been selected for the program are invited and encouraged to attend the Art Stroll event. Artists are given the opportunity to speak to the community about their artwork, artistic process, inspiration, and experiences.

LiveDAYBREAK Community Arts are funded by Commercial Community Enhancement Fees (CE Fees) collected at the time of closing of a commercial property sale within Daybreak. The fees collected support community art initiatives. For resales, the fee is ½ of 1% of the sale price. It should be noted that the Homeowners Association (HOA) and LiveDAYBREAK are separate entities and have different funding sources.

LOWER DAYBREAK ANNUAL ROTATING EXHIBIT


1F1A2501 - CopyRest Up Dragon Slayer – Deveren Farley
Materials: Scrap Metal
Dimensions: 6' H x 15' W



1F1A2510 - Copy - CopyStill Life – Tom Jackson
Materials: Foam insulation board, polymer cement, acrylic outdoor paint
Dimensions: 8' x 4' x 3' 
Weight: 150 lbs



1F1A2530 - Copy - CopyEternity – Jason Millward
Materials: Brass on wood
Dimensions: 34" x 16" x 14" 
Weight: 100 lbs


From Jason: "Eternity" portrays stars flowing within a galaxy, reminding us of the vastness of eternity, space, and time. We can liken ourselves to those stars within our own sphere of life, creating a golden brilliance of our own with our continuous flow of actions, talents, and personalities. 

1F1A2546 - CopyDe-Hydration 1 – Dana Kuglin
Materials: Used 1940s fire hydrant and recycled bronze water meters
Dimensions: 5' x 6' x 6'
Weight: 975 lbs


From Dana: This piece, as is most of my work, is the dialog on man's encroachment on the environment & nature's adaptation to it. This piece is to remind us of all of "the stream" as we consume.
1F1A2577 - CopySunseeker – Dan Toone
Materials: Steel
Dimensions: 76" x 24"
Weight: 150 lbs



1F1A2604 - CopyPassage – Ted Schaal
Materials: Bronze and stainless steel
Dimensions: 74" x 18" x 6"
Weight: 200 lbs


From Ted: "Passage" was inspired by time spent in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. While hiking through slot canyons, it can seem like you are seeing the end of the corridor only to be fooled by the tricks light plays on the rock walls. The mirror-polished stainless-steel slot in the sculpture leads the viewer to believe they are seeing through the piece, but on inspection, it is only a reflection. Ultimately, the sculpture is about barriers, obstacles, and improbable passages. 

1F1A2623 - CopyBrown Bear Under the Moon – Jennifer Seely
Materials: Metal print of acrylic paintings, double sided
Dimensions: 24" x 24"
Weight: 10 lbs



1F1A2457 - CopySpiral #15 – Spencer Budd
Materials: Steel
Dimensions: 27" x 24" x 20"
Weight: 30 lbs


From Spencer: Spiral #15 is one of a series of sculptures I have created over several years. This series began with a challenge to create a "systems sculpture." Due to the challenges of creating by hand, decisions made while in the process of creating, and the chosen material for the sculpture each of the sculptures in this series is unique. This work is made in steel and the color is created by applying heat. 

1F1A2444 - CopySlender Void – Myles Howell
Materials: Portuguese Pink Marble
Dimensions: 37" x 9" x 5" 
Weight: 50 lbs


Slender Void is a tall vertical form, that is inspired by abstracted bones and desert landscapes. 

1F1A2647 - CopyEmerging for Next Year – Nathan Johansen
Materials: Bronze
Dimensions: 30" x 12" x 12"
Weight: 35 lbs


From Nathan: The sculptural piece "Emerging for Next Year" is a continuing exploration of my interest in seeds and propagation. Flowers, in all their showy, colorful profusion are noticeable and dominant in defining the "beauty" of a plant. Yet, these ephemeral blossoms are transient and fade quickly, to be replaced by that for which the plant exists.. the seeds. Nestled in a seed pod's hard protective exterior is the hope for tomorrow, waiting for just the right conditions to emerge, seeding the future. 


1F1A2678 - CopyNapoleon Bona Petit – Richard Prazen
Materials: Steel
Dimensions: 5' x 6"
Weight: 100 lbs




From Richard: I usually draw a sketch to follow as I make each individual piece. I cut them out with a plasma cutter, grind them and then start to assemble each piece after I shape them by stretching the metal to its proper shape...Most of my sculptures are colored with natural metal color and contrasts, but this one, since it's a multi-colored Chameleon, I chose to powder coat the entire sculpture with the turquoise color and then add other multi-colored pigments to it to give it contrasts.

1F1A2696 - CopyBalance – Nate Brimhall
Materials: Mild Steel
Dimensions: 10' x 3' x 3'
Weight: 250 lbs


From Nate: "Balance" was built in 2018 before the world was changed with Covid-19. At the time, I had an image of me standing and all the things I was responsible for and wanting to do spinning through my mind. It was a visualization of keeping it all going, finding my bearings, finding peace, movement, and joy in the process of truly living.

1F1A0630Lithic Bird I – Nathan Johansen
Created: 2002
Materials: Bronze
Dimensions: 28” x 24” x 10”
Weight: 90 lbs
Installation Year: 2022 - Art Ave Program, 2023 - Permanent Installation
Artist Website: www.johansenstudios.weebly.com

About the Artwork: Born from his love of all things in nature, this sculpture is part of artist Nathan Johansen's Lithic Art exploration. This bird, which is a common shape found in artwork from primitive cultures, was created by adapting the stone knapping techniques of these cultures. This technique is done by using hand tools to flake away bits of material and results in a flat, yet detailed surface. This lovely bird, with its elegant lines, is depicted with its wings spread wide, ready to set off into the air. This piece was originally featured in the 2022 Art Ave program and has been purchased for Daybreak’s permanent public art collection.

Materials: Bronze

Weight: 150 lbs
Retail Price: $7,900

In the life cycle of plants, seeds play a vital role as the new plant begins. If the seed is viable, if it is good and is exposed to a favorable environment, it germinates and sprouts into existence.

This sculpture features a slice of textured earth, allowing the viewer to take in the early stages of growth of a good seed, with a root shown sprouting from the seed, pushing downward to establish a foundation for the plant. Over 70 different types of seeds are represented in the sculpture’s texture.

As a seed begins germinating, it demonstrates its great potential for strength as it pushes past the dirt, stones, organisms, and debris, inexorably seeking light. Observation of this seemingly tenuous growth highlights its persistence and perseverance in finding its way. Each germination is a lesson in persistent, patient effort in finding the way past all hardships to sustaining the light. This sculpture is textured from a mixture of actual organic material, decaying leaves, bugs, and other objects found underground.

Materials: Stainless Steel
Dimensions: 10’ x 3’ x 3’
Weight: 200 lbs
Retail Price: $4,900

This sculpture, which began as an unusually large tube of stainless steel, took a whimsical turn when it struck artist Dan Toone that it looked like the stem of a flower or plant. To complete his vision, he added petals created from repurposed steel from a dairy road tanker, and a signature mirror-finished stainless steel sphere that adds dimension to the piece, despite such uniformity in its materials. The base of the sculpture features a contrasting steel finished with a rusted patina—the element brings a heavier, earthy feel to this botanical piece.

Weight: 250 lbs
Retail Price: $11,000
Artist Website: www.nmbenembe.com

About the Sculpture: The idea of Teach began as a motion, a movement of crouching down that transforms into standing and reaching tall. The movement began as a grounded, ready position, and moved upward into a growth and a freedom. It had many working titles, none of which satisfied the artist. It was still unnamed when the artist was invited to present the sculpture at a Career Day event at a local middle school. Brimhall realized there that its name was Teach. Teachers give us the ability to stay grounded but fly, to be safe but be free and unlimited in our exploration, learning, and growth. That idea of being grounded but being ready and equipped to reach is what the movement and the sculptural interpretation of that movement represent.

The fresh, untainted artwork of these small kids, free of preconceived imagery, underlines the concept of youthful imagination. 52 young artists contributed to the creation of this piece.

About the Sculpture: Specter, meaning ghost, features the ghost of a cube, the artist’s favorite shape. As seen from different angles, the cube takes on various forms—at times it looks three-dimensional while seeming to disappear into a flat object at others. This mysterious piece features steel and stainless steel, contrasted against each other while combining together to create one structure.

About the Sculpture: What originally began as a 4’ sculpture, Envisage features two different kinds of steel.

The contrasting rusted steel and shiny stainless steel work together to highlight the piece’s uniqueness.

About the Sculpture: A plant progressing through its growing season has many interesting stages of development. From seed and seedling to fruit, some stages catch our eye, like the flowering stage. Winter Hibiscus Leaf gives us a view into a beautiful stage of plant life, sometimes overlooked—the dying, dried stage. A necessary step to spring’s renewal, winter, with its rest period, produces beauty in a dried, curled-up leaf.
