Best
known for his work as a public art sculptor, Steve
Tepper's minimal and quirky furniture pieces and elegant
lights are also eagerly collected as art objects.
In this exhibition, Sport Balls (Foot,
Cricket, Tennis, Soft, Bowling and Basket) are all
incorporated into his latest aluminium constructions,
in which the chair form becomes an exciting sculptural
object, far removed from the comfortable piece of
furniture beloved by the TV spectator. |
And in Reading Lights, an ironically titled series
of wall lights, he uses Squash and Table Tennis Balls
as Braille characters to create a back lit pattern
of words.
Graduating from Curtin University
(1992), he won the City of Perth Open Award in the
same year, was the recipient of the Domus Scholarship,
RMIT, Melbourne in 1993, and, with Anne Neil, of the
Basel Exchange in 1994/95. In 1997/98 he was awarded
a grant by the Australia Council to develop new furniture,
and in 1999 he received an Asialink residency in Seoul,
South Korea.
