Kevin Robb, a Colorado metal sculptor,is featured in the Art Gallery at Denver International Airport. Large photographic wall murals share the monumental, stainless steel sculptures that have highlighted his career over the years. Along with the wall murals are a number of smaller stainless steel sculptures that capture the essence of his designs. Also highlighted in this exhibit is a wall filled with Kevin Robb’s Calypso Collection – bright,
yet yield to Kevin’s famous signature patterns which appear from under the rich, translucent surfaces. In addition to his artworks, the exhibit also includes Robb’s personal story about a life-altering stroke in 2004.
With hired men to be his hands he continues to create with a shake of his cane, a nod, a smile, a line drawn on the steel, and the ultimate game of charades. The artworks highlighted in this show are all works created since his stroke. The show is in the Jeppesen Terminal (main terminal), Level 5 west side, near the north security screening.
Kevin enjoyed working with this wonderfully pliable material again while creating On Pointe. This 8 foot bronze sculpture is just out of the studio and being introduced into the sculpture gardens.
The piece was purchased by Sculpture at the River Market with assistance from Deltic Timber to be enjoyed by the public as they travel through the area. Iconic public art can serve as a landmark for residents, employees, and visitors.
This is a very unique design for him as he has always shied away from sculptures with an even number of elements. An odd number of elements in a sculpture, or any other design project for that matter, has a natural dynamic, a natural force, and thus the majority of his works are three elements.
A couple of months ago Kevin began creating a new major stainless steel sculpture. After many sketches created with a 3d program, he settled on a four element design.
