Artist Spotlight: Don Adler – Birth/Rebirth

Don Adler, Infinity, Marble, 20 x 7 x 7"

BIRTH has been described as an explosion of forces culminating in a scream followed by a feeling of joy and tranquility. The pastoral calm and realization of the magnificence of the process followed by growth and development constitutes REBIRTH.

Don Adler, Labyrinth, Marble, 18 x 12 x 7"

This equation of birth followed by rebirth is captured in Adler’s body of work. The passionate palette of color and form reflects a deeper understanding of the birthing process developed from Adler's 40+ years of experience as a Fertility & Ob/Gyn physician.

Don Adler, Flame II, Onyx, 17 x 9 x 8"

This metaphorical analogy translates the creation of the earth 4.6 billion years ago when particles of solar dust and fiery gases exploded and fused to form our planet. It then took 10-20 million years to produce the geologic formations of the stone with which the artist has been working.

BIRTH-Extraction of stone

REBIRTH-Carving of stone to finished sculpture

One can say: this multiphasic process is “CARVED IN STONE”
