美借雕塑家Tom Doyle的作品仅以三点支撑，将不同形态的物件悬挂于空间中，并以此为创作目标。虽然作品尺寸由八英寸到十五英尺不等，但全以相同的升力原则所创作，似是因为艺术家对达至无重状态甚至飞行的奋斗而成功令作品浮起。 Doyle使用Sperber双人锯木机将树木锯下并作雕刻。当决定了支撑结构后，就着手设计雕塑的最终形状。作品极具鲜明的抽象表现主义，尤似Franz Kline的绘画作品风格。 1950至1960年代，Doyle活跃于纽约艺术圈，是支持创意发酵的艺术运动中不可或缺的一分子。
Tom Doyle曾获颁约翰•西蒙古根海姆纪念奖学金雕塑奖及美国国家艺术基金会艺术奖— 雕塑奖。他的作品被安装于康涅狄格州新不列颠美国艺术博物馆、纽约市立大学皇后学院、切斯特Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek宗教会堂及罗克斯伯里Jean Widmark纪念馆。
Sundaram Tagore Gallery has been named one of the top galleries in the world by Blouin Artinfo and Modern Painters magazine.
Curator Sundaram Tagore tells Aimee Chan why the new art development at Gillman Barracks is so current and important.
Using carved planks and curved sections of trees that he felled himself, Tom Doyle constructed handsome, tripodal forms that vary from tabletop models to nearly eleven-foot-tall sculptures. Four of the 13 were displayed attached to the walls at eye level, but the freestanding sculptures held the most potency. The larger works resemble the bones of a long-dead vertebrate, but at the same time the elegance of their compositions make them seem animated.
Tom Doyle fells cherry, oak and sassafras trees to make his carved, rough-hewn tripartite sculptures, some of which he casts in red and brown patinated bronze. The nearly two dozen abstract works here, from 1986 to the present, are either handheld or behemoth in scale.
