Kinetic Art is a Very Popular Theme for Los Angeles Sculptor Bruce Gray

Here is a photo of my latest mobile "Leaves of a Feather" installed at it's forever home in Vermont. (43x66 inches) This curvy modern kinetic sculpture is powder coated in glossy black and red on welded steel.

New Kinetic Art Sculpture Commission by Bruce Gray

This is Leaves of a Feather, my latest mobile sculpture. It was tricky to make because the client liked a previous mobile I had made but wanted the sizes altered. This adds a lot of extra work and calculating, but I am pleased with it. Powder coating makes it all glossy and perfect. This sculpture is in a private collection.

Majestic Princess Cruise Ship Features Interactive Kinetic Art by Bruce Gray

This is "Journey," my new rolling ball sculpture for the Majestic Princess cruise ship. It's 60" x 100" x 6". Making a sculpture this wide, with only 6" of depth was a challenge. Also it will be behind plexiglas on a moving vessel, so it has to be reliable and most of the tracks are "sealed" so the ball cannot come off. This interactive kinetic sculpture features a hand crank which operates an Archimedes screw lifting system bringing the ball to the top to start it's journey.  The enormous luxury ship will be based out of Italy and China.
