The artist David Boyer creates distinctive kinetic wind sculptures. Around 1998, David Boyer began the process of inventing his sculptures. The artist uses the term “invent” because, aside from being artistic constructs, David Boyers’ kinetic wind sculptures are also complex machines, and often require a great deal of invention to successfully complete.

Powered by the wind, David Boyer’s kinetic sculptures are constantly changing as they interact with the environment. The constant variability of wind, light, shadow, and motion brings an engaging energy to David Boyer’s work. 

Many of David’s pieces look like antique rusting artifacts. As an avid desert explorer, David Boyer has always loved the color and texture of aged, weathered metal. Boyer will often use such material in his wind sculpture artwork. He also uses a special technique that he invented to age newer metals to give his art the rustic quality unique to his wind sculpture.

In addition to his “aged” sculptures, David Boyer has recently been creating sculptures using stainless steel. His sculpture “Bonsai,” which can be seen in the sculpture garden at Exposures Gallery of Fine Art, is a beautiful example of this mixture of new and old in his wind sculpture.  

“Why Kinetic sculpture? Simply put, I’ve always had a fascination with things that move. Motion equates to life. When the wind blows and my sculptures dance and twirl, it almost seems like they are alive.”  - David Boyer

For the past seven years, David Boyer has dedicated himself to his art, becoming a full-time artist in 2003. Since then he has received commissions for two major cities in the southwest.
