The treatment chosen was a blend I can best describe as “stylistic realism”. I felt the power and sinuous movement of this animal would be lost by using too realistic a style. All the muscles and planes were stylized and smoothed to help accentuate the “flow” of this cat.

Aluminum plate and polyester resin Created specifically for this site, this monumentally scaled suspended piece seems to defy gravity as it hovers over the stage. A complex interior lighting system dramatically refracts light upon backdrop wall. This concept was intended to convey many layers of meaning through the symbiosis of sculpture and light. Created from aluminum clad in sculpted layers of polyester resin and faux-painted bronze, this piece is substantially lighter than a true bronze version would be, and is hence, more suitable for suspension. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555bca63e4b0c7c58cff602f/1439864528815-9JOL93S32ULPD17UGQN1/PA_ode-to-joy-1.jpg Public Art - ode to joy Mills Peninsula Health Services, Burlingame, California 25’x900’x50’ The overarching theme is a wildly exuberant expression of hope, freedom and joy.

A 12th centruy mounted Samurai is portrayed with incredible attention to detail and historical fidelity.

Typically, the smaller the edition size, the more exclusive the piece is, and thus represents a higher value. Each casting from the edition is numbered to identify it. Due to the “hands on” character of each step involved, every casting will contain small differences from all others making it truly an individual. Douwe’s limited editions average between 10 and 25. Each piece is cast using only the finest art bronze alloy and old world hot patinas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555bca63e4b0c7c58cff602f/1439605877276-YHTI8TA4V57KDJMVBX7A/LE_intro-1.jpg Limited Editions The term, “limited edition” simply means a sculpture where the number of castings is pre-determined.

Which to me simply means “if it’s bronze, let it look like bronze”. Here I experimented with new techniques to achieve this wonderful surface treatment. My other goal here was to give this piece movement where none existed. This figure is not moving, and yet there is much going on. I worked hard on the subtleties of the pose to achieve movement in every plane.

The mixing of a highly textured, abstract figure with the intricately sculpted masks and topped by a striking splash of color and contrasting materials creates a sculpture that is artistically unique and visually stimulating. The mixture of treatment and complex meaning will serve to draw and hold the interest while the viewer unravels the meaning of the piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555bca63e4b0c7c58cff602f/1442893314860-7CQDNKO8JD25597SR9JZ/LE_change-of-face-detail.jpg Limited Editions - change of face (detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555bca63e4b0c7c58cff602f/1498161729623-X2D1B1LMQX0R4FB0YSEK/Reflections+Bas+Relief.jpg Limited Editions - Mountain Reflections Bronze and stainless steel with enamel 2014 2.5’x5’x2” This is an experiment in creating a “bronze painting”. Designed to be hung like a painting, this piece uniquely explores the use of relief, texture, planes and shadow rather than color.

The treatment chosen was a blend I can best describe as “stylistic realism”. I felt the power and sinuous movement of this animal would be lost by using too realistic a style. All the muscles and planes were stylized and smoothed to help accentuate the “flow” of this cat.

"De Oppresso Liber" is the Green Berets' motto. Early in 2002, after seeing the first released images of the "horse soldiers" I began sculpting this piece. I was fascinated by the visual imagery as well as the symbolism of a 21st century western soldier working symbiotically with an ancient eastern mountain horse to combat tyranny and oppression. Close collaboration with the actual "horse soldiers" ensured the accuracy of the piece. 16" and 9" editions are available.

The designated head gear of U.S. Army Special Forces, a green beret holds special meaning and signifigance to those within the Special Operations community. My vision was to create a bronze “Still Life” that trhough fidelity of detail and form would permanently speak. There are two sizes available. The life-sized edition measure 10-11” in diameter and stands about 8” tall weighing 15 lbs. the half life-sized version measure 6-7” in diameter and stands 5” tall, weighing 5 lbs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555bca63e4b0c7c58cff602f/1438960426432-Y4OFMSSE8VYWI3X6D2JT/LE_face-of-war-1.jpg Limited Editions - Face of War Edition of 10 12"x16"x12" Bronze A very small edition 10. I sculpted this piece after reading the book “We were soldiers once, and young”. I was so struck by the sheer horror of that battle, as I was by the sheer courage and dedication of the soldiers.

The pose is a modern twist on the classic "contrapposto" stance.

"De Oppresso Liber" is the Green Berets' motto. Early in 2002, after seeing the first released images of the "horse soldiers" I began sculpting this piece. I was fascinated by the visual imagery as well as the symbolism of a 21st century western soldier working symbiotically with an ancient eastern mountain horse to combat tyranny and oppression. Close collaboration with the actual "horse soldiers" ensured the accuracy of the piece. 18", 9" and 5" tall editions are available.

The treatment chosen was a blend I can best describe as “stylistic realism”. I felt the power and sinuous movement of this animal would be lost by using too realistic a style. All the muscles and planes were stylized and smoothed to help accentuate the “flow” of this cat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555bca63e4b0c7c58cff602f/1440214579627-ZNJ1P8Z4NS6MDDORLANT/PC_still-life-palestine-1.jpg Private Commissions - Still Life Palestine 33 A.D.

An interesting story of persistence is involved with this piece. I sent my original clay sculpture to the mold-maker only to get a call saying their dogs had intercepted the delivery and destroyed my piece! With only a month left before the presentation, I stayed up nights and re-sculpted the piece to have it done on time.

The medieval warhorse was the equivalent of today’s battle tank. Though our concept of a “breed” as a closed gene pool would be foreign to our ancestors, certain types came to be favored. A type now known as the “Great Horse” of Europe could very generally be described as a Percheron warmblood/lusitano cross... at least in terms of physical appearance.

The scaled armor on the top of the head/neck was to resist the common downward sword stroke and protect the spine and major nerves in the area. Tassles, which are prevalent in the Middle East, originally served the purpose of keeping away flies and mosquitoes, but quickly became a decorative device as well.

Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? The glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting”.

"De Oppresso Liber" is the Green Berets' motto. Early in 2002, after seeing the first released images of the "horse soldiers" I began sculpting this piece. I was fascinated by the visual imagery as well as the symbolism of a 21st century western soldier working symbiotically with an ancient eastern mountain horse to combat tyranny and oppression. Close collaboration with the actual "horse soldiers" ensured the accuracy of the piece. 16" edition is available.

The designated head gear of U.S. Army Special Forces, a green beret holds special meaning and significance to those within the Special Operations community. My vision was to create a bronze “Still Life” that through fidelity of detail and form would permanently speak. There are two sizes available.

The pose is a modern twist on the classic "contrapposto" stance. I selected an interesting treatment with this piece where the texture is clearly "sculpted" and spontaneous, yet all the detail is present and correct. I enjoy using this style for such a piece as it keeps the piece fresh and sculptural.

I sculpted this piece after reading the book “We were soldiers once, and young”. I was so struck by the sheer horror of that battle, as I was by the sheer courage and dedication of the soldiers. I wanted to try to portray some of the emotions that such an intense experience produces. I also however, wanted to portray the nature of courage, that it is a decision to persevere and not run away. This kid is terrified and shocked, and yet he is there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555bca63e4b0c7c58cff602f/1602795697578-Y9R9ZNIL8PIT8564N4CE/Face+of+War+-+front+view.jpg Military - FACE OF WAR (DETAIL) Edition of 10 12"x16"x12" Bronze A very small edition 10.
