Author: Andrew DeVries

Sculptor Andrew DeVries began sketching and painting at a young age on his family’s farm in Rochester, N.Y., and first began sculpting in the late 1970s. He studied the craft of mold making and bronze foundry for several years, apprenticing with sculptor Ed Dwight in Denver, Colo. and at the Paris-American Academy. DeVries launched his formal career working with the dancers at Ballet Denver, and is now a master bronze founder, sculpting works that reflect dance, fluidity, and motion. His sculptures can be found in both private and public collections around the world, including at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin, Ireland, and Ballettzentrum at the Hamburg Ballet in Hamburg, Germany. DeVries is the recipient of the North American Sculpture Society’s Lindsay Memorial Prize, Walter and Michael Lantz Award, and Young Sculptor award, among other accolades. He creates his sculptures in his studio in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, where he also maintains a gallery.

I don’t usually make changes to photos but here are two of my sculptures from the Hotel on North exhibit. Backlit gives them a whole new look.#devriesfineartinternational #dancesculpture #artintheberkshires #bronze

Probably most people won’t know what the heck these are. Ceramic shell molds after being dewaxed. These are what the bronze is poured into. Bronze sculptures take an incredibly long time to create along with a lot of equipment and expensive materials. Not for the feint of heart. I’ll be casting bronze soon!#sculptorandrewdevries #intheberkshires #lovetheberkshires #riverstudiosma #devriesfineartinternational

Traipsing across the field and the Sculpture Trail. Still plenty of snow on it. Warm weather coming! #riverstudiosma #artintheberkshires #devriesfineartinternational #sculpturetrail

Finishing waxes for the large Echoes. #2 in the edition. I hope to have it finished in the fall for the last Open Studio in October. Head is gated upper torso ready. Arms are in the shell room waiting. The hardest part is the Mobius strip that holds him up. #riverstudiosma #sculptorandrewdevries #bronzesculpture #intheberkshires #

With all the snow and ice there has not been a lot of time to post. Today I was finally back in the studio chasing waxes. New works in the background. Two new dance sculptures that I am sculpting in wax. #riverstudiosma #intheberkshires #lovetheberkshires #devriesfineartinternational #sculpture

Working on a portrait of my friend Kaveh. We haven’t been able to get together again because of the virus. Hoping we all get the shots soon and get on with everything. #devriesfineartinternational #intheberkshires #sculptorandrewdevries #riverstudiosma

Eighteen inches of snow out here at the studio on tot of the eight we already had. Nocturne looks lovely. That’s the beauty of outdoor sculpture, the pieces can look and feel so different during the changing weather and light. #sculpturetrail #sculptorandrewdevries #devriesfineartinternational #riverstudiosma #intheberkshires

Snowshoeing on the sculpture trail and popped a photo! Nimue, Lady of the lake looking more like the snow queen! #riverstudiosma #artintheberkshires #lovetheberkshires #sculpturetrail

The ceramic shell molds used for castings takes several coats of dipping into slurry and then stucco. Each coat must thoroughly dry inside and out before the next coat. Orange when they are dry and green when wet.#bronzesculpture #devriesfineartinternational #riverstudiosma #intheberkshires #lovetheberkshires

There are many important steps in casting a bronze but wax chasing is one of the most important. This wax is the upper torso of the Faerie Dance sculpture. Recapturing the details of the costume took 6 hours. What you have in the wax you will have in the bronze. This is what makes a difference in my work. #devriesfineartinternational #riverstudiosma #sculpture #intheberkshires #lovetheberkshires

Finishing up the Just for You! sculptures that I cast on December 24th. Two of them have different patinas. Can you find which ones? That’s one of the benefits of having the sculptor who casts his own bronze! #intheberkshires #lovetheberkshires #devriesfineartinternational #riverstudiosma #sculpture

The reality of most artists’ lives is that there’s just a lot of plain hard work that goes into making a beautiful piece. Whether it’s a painting, sculpture, music or dance. #devriesfineartinternational #riverstudiosma #lovetheberkshires #sculpture #intheberkshires
