Richard Bell Smith Bell is renowned for his unrivaled skill with the welding torch. He has won numerous awards and competitions, and his sculptures are found in many of the world's finest collections. Of his own art, Bell says, "I am committed to the idea of creating sculptures of universal appeal-- available to everyone at his own level of consciousness. For those who see only a pretty object for the home or office, they offer an ornamental and purely decorative beauty. For those who appreciate form, texture, color and line in their more formal relationships, I attempt to create an integral work of art. And they who seek a deeper spiritual meaning through the contemplation of art may share my vision of an analogy between the creation of a delicate tree sculpture from formless molten metal and the creation of the ordered universe from primal chaos. It is my sincere desire that my art might inspire people who routinely see only the decorative aspect of art to delve into the more introspective way of viewing and, thereby, not only please their sense of beauty, but increase their understanding of art as well."   Pine Tree Grove     Pine Tree - Medium Single Pine Tree   Pine Tree with Snag - Small   For more information on this artist’s work contact:
