Sunset by Al Beadle

 This lecture and unique perspective on Al’s works will provide a new perspective on what compelled him as an artist and architect, such as his fascination with how the movement of the sun would play with the shadows cast by his sculptures. Gerri will share great anecdotes and quotes about the artist that reveal more about his process like, “Sculptures should not be blue, as they will clash with the sky. They should not be green as the sculpture will blend in with the plants.  Reds and yellows (especially “corvette yellow”) are the colors reflected when the desert is happy!  Also ok are rusted and stainless steel, and black and white.” Gerri will share not only images of Al Beadle sculptures, but will also bring physical examples of his designs.
