Art of Intorsion presents a series of works produced by Maudegrasse from 2016 till present. Focusing on the structurally inherent tension and energy within twisted forms, Maudegrasse plays with notions of balance and framework. The use of patina and the interplay of light and shadow on the contorted bronze surfaces creates a sense of movement – snaking lines and connecting points, and shifting from rigid lines to fluid curves. Even though Maudegrasse’s inspiration comes from observation of some natural phenomena, the work showcases some configurational mysteries which exist in organic forms, abstract poses, and movement dynamics.

Maudegrasse has advanced college degrees in the arts and sciences. He is a self-taught sculptor who developed a unique personal style labeled “the allure of intorsion.” Maudegrasse’s sculptures are mainly executed in bronze and are typically rendered in a small-to-medium scale. He resides and creates his sculptures in Cambridge, MA.
