Charles Gadeken
Charles Gadeken creates beautiful sculptures that incorporate mixed metals, interactive and kinetic elements and fire. All his sculptures change and enhance the environment in which they are shown, and invite the viewer to not only behold the art as spectacle, but also engage in it as a sensory experience. His art is uniquely organic, using fire and light to enhance and complete the sculpture.
Charles is a founding member of the Flaming Lotus Girls and the Illumination Project; monumental kinetic sculptures created for the opening of Treasure Island,
Santa Rosa Museum of Visual Art, Reno Art Town and Burning Man. In 2008, he was commissioned to build fire pits by the National Park Service, and his 8ft wide Seastars are now permanently installed on Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Charles also designs and builds custom fire art for individual collectors.
