Lyle London:
Studied with sculptor Varujan Boghosian and numerous visiting artists (Larry Zox, Dimitri Hadzi, Robert Indiana, Jack Zajac and others) at Dartmouth College in the late 1960’s. Zajac’s style of biomorphic abstraction has had a lasting influence on his work. After several years of carving stone and practical experience in the art bronze foundry, he began working primarily in metal. The intimate scale and pronounced formalism of earlier cast bronze pieces have given way to an increasing body of large scale commissioned works mostly in copper and stainless steel. Another important change in London’s work has come from incorporating a greater sense of spontaneity and fluidity through the use of high-tech fabrication techniques. Sculptures integrating water features and kinetic motion have appeared since 1985. 
  This sculpture illustrates the complex dynamics of a breaking wave. The piece is typical of the artist's style of organic abstraction and it was a tribute to John Lennon.
Love his works.
