Over the past three decades, the internationally acclaimed kinetic sculpture artist, George Beckman, has created hundreds of truly unique kinetic sculptures. The body of work now enhances institutions, private residences and fine art collections worldwide. Themes of flight, music and freedom radiate from his mirror finished stainless steel kinetic sculpture masterworks.

"By using primitive devises of my own design, I bend and twist all of the separate pieces that will later be balanced and then joined together to become one art piece known as kinetic sculpture. Once the basic composition is in place, I begin the long process of grinding, sanding, and buffing which ultimately transforms the dull grey metal form into a brilliant, shining, completed work of art. To fully appreciate the kinetic aspect of my work, you must set the piece in motion. Make it go!"

Good estate condition; some minor scratches to plinth.
