Split Decision (Art Encounters, 2024) by Andrew Libertone, Image 1.
Colorado artist Andy Libertone’s architecturally modern sculpture, “Split Decision,” sits prominently at the corner of Mainstreet and E. Mainstreet. Andy is well-known to the local arts scene, having taught at many local institutions. He also is a founding member of Spark co-op gallery and has exhibited his work in galleries, institutions, and the public throughout Colorado and the west. The motivation for his geometric sculptures, such as this one, comes from a combination of his love of jazz music, architecture, industrial and, auto-based imagery. His large geometric, powder-coated steel sculptures demonstrate his artistic balance of solid forms, open spaces, and orchestrating colors in steel and wood—a challenge that’s proven to be a rewarding expansion of his artistic vision.
