Derived from an original sketch by the artist, "Cassini Gyre I" evokes the quiet motion of celestial bodies and the layered rings of distant planets. The fluid, orbit-like line has been translated from drawing into cold-rolled steel, preserving the immediacy of the artist’s hand while introducing the weight and permanence of metal. Its open circular form and sweeping interior lines create a sense of contained movement, recalling the shifting structure of Saturn’s rings.

Each sculpture is carefully fabricated from steel and finished through an oxidation process that produces a deep black patina. This finish both protects the surface from rust and preserves the natural character and texture of the metal. A protective clear coat is then applied, sealing the surface while maintaining its subtle tonal variations. Signed on the reverse.

Installation is straightforward, as the sculpture mounts directly to the wall using metal dowels through seven discreet drill holes, allowing the piece to float slightly off the surface.

Paul Arsenault

"My sculptures are all about the beauty of line. I strive to faithfully recreate the immediacy and intimacy of pencil drawings from my sketchbook in metal."

Arsenault strives to capture the quirky and unexpected, either holding onto formal elements and techniques, or rejecting them when the rules require breaking. In his work, playful experimentation and happy accidents meet formal rigors, evoking freshness and a sense of visual intrigue.

Paul Arsenault's ''Metal Sketches'' open his sketchbook to the world. What begins as an intimate, personal sketch is transformed into sculpture through a multi-step process, finally rendered in sheet metal and displayed on the wall. Each ''Metal Sketch'' sits 2 inches from the wall, creating intricate shadows as the light changes.

Paul Arsenault graduated with honors from Massachusetts College of Art & Design in 2000. He received an MA in fine art from Cambridge School of Art in Cambridge, UK in 2016. He works out of a studio building in Somerville, MA as well as a metal shop in Rhode Island.
