Eugene Doering has created a remarkable collection of polished bronze and aluminum sculpture, all within the last twenty years.
He enjoyed a successful career as an architect/designer, in which he realized numerous architectural projects in Europe from Warsaw, Vienna, Dusseldorf, Toronto, to New York State. However, his main passion has been sculpture, which he studied at the Academy of Art in Warsaw. He continued carving in wood and stone during his years of architectural practice. In 1998 he became totally involved with bronze and aluminum lost wax casting at Syracuse University Sculpture facility. With this new medium he began an intense phase of creativity, where unlike the limitations of carving his forms became free.
His metal sculptures represent a unique expression. Each work is one of a kind. All are cast in the lost wax process. Countless hours were spent finishing these sculptures to a high standard of artistic quality, down to selection of material for the bases.
Eugene had no interest in selling his work. He created his sculptures for personal attachment and held onto them to only display in exhibitions and to keep the collection intact. He has exhibited selectively in New York State, New York City, and Europe. He has shown his works during the Cazenovia Art Trail since its inception in 2012.
This is the life work of a passionate artist, who found his poetic language in pure form. His inspiration, the sculpture of Constantin Brancusi and Hans Arp.
”My sculpture often begins with a small discarded piece of wax, the germination of a form that gathers energy. As I work, the forms emerge freely, with a potential unlimited by prior conception. My sculpture is conceived in wax, shaped by my hands, disciplined by my eyes, until after metamorphosis into metal, the life of the form is slowly released as the surfaces and lines are refined then polished to embody, light, life and movement. This is a labor intensive journey, of deep engagement with each piece, as it emerges, in stages, to finally reveal its beauty of form within and around its space.”
