Connee Mayeron & Charles Fuller Cowles  www.mayeroncowles.com					Since the late 1980's, artists Constance Mayeron and Charles Fuller Cowles have worked as a high-energy collaborative team that makes two distinct but related bodies of work: large, indoor and outdoor sculpture, and smaller objects for domestic interiors. Exploring surface and volume, the two artists create functional work that includes large-scale chairs, benches, ottomans, and jardinières, as well as commissioned fountains, plazas, permanent and temporary installations, and custom-designed interior spaces. Mayeron/Cowles sculpture is defined by a vocabulary of simplified organic, curvilinear forms; a straight line is all but impossible to find. Sophisticated but dramatic, the sculpture's inner contours conform to - even cradle - the human body. The monumental work surprisingly is not intimidating, as each piece is infused with an underlying playfulness. Charles Fuller Cowles works with stone, concrete, metal and glass. His non-representational work reflects principles of Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. The fracturing and recombining of abstract elements to create a spatial dynamism, and the massing of forms and piercing of solid planes, all of which acknowledge the work of earlier masters, can be found in his pieces. In the 1980s and 1990s Cowles' more structural, geometric work recalled the sculpture of post WWII artists. By comparison, his most recent work with its multiple, biomorphic interlocking shapes, suggests the forms found in the work of Miro, Arp, Klee and Calder.
