About The Artist

Duncan Sherwood-Forbes (b. 1989) is an Oakland, California–based multimedia artist whose figurative wire sculptures blur the line between drawing and sculpture. Born and raised in Lincoln, Massachusetts, he discovered welding and wire sculpture while attending a summer arts program at The Putney School in 2005, building on an early foundation in figure drawing and cartooning through the DeCordova Museum of Art. His practice treats wire as a drawn line in space, using negative space rather than mass to define form and creating sculptures that suggest, rather than occupy, volume. Working at scales ranging from intimate tabletop pieces to monumental outdoor installations, Sherwood-Forbes frequently sculpts from life, returning to enduring subjects such as the human figure and still life in an ongoing pursuit of structural clarity and a refined visual language.
