Enjoy our current exhibition Playing with Gravity by Adam Conard. Playing with Gravity has never been seen and features stone balances created at the masterly level intended to inspire one to believe in the unbelievable. An ancient art form with prehistoric origins predating 2D cave paintings, balancing and stacking stone is considered one of the very earliest art forms. Staking stones has become popular, however, performed as an art form at the mastery level is extremely rare. The sculptures in this exhibit are true balances; no glue or other attachments of any kind are used. Visit ZOTOart.com.
