As an artist and sculptor, Tom Brewitz continues to expand on a body of work that spans 25 years.  Creating wind-generated outdoor stabiles that utilize the environment to energize their motion, interior works with hanging mobiles and hand generated floor and table-top kinetic stabiles, Brewitz’s brushed stainless planes and colorful patterns of shapes move gracefully, reflecting the surroundings and dazzling the eye.

Using a wide array of finishes, such as brushed metal, brass, copper, stainless, baked-on colors and a variety of textures, the work of Tom Brewitz creates a sense of interaction between the sculptural elements and their surroundings. A soft air current or a gentle touch sends the elements on an enchanting dance, while at rest his work stands majestic, profoundly poignant and aligned.

Brewitz combines aesthetically blended geometric shapes and painstakingly balances the sculpture to be sensitive and capable of movement with heavy or lightweight elements. From lively mobiles that provide an ever changing drama of color, shape and whimsy, to massive metallic outdoor objects gracefully swaying in a garden setting or commercial exposure.  With a spectrum of artistic expression and a myriad of medium and style selections, Brewitz seeks to create new kinetic art because there are always unexplored opportunities.  He reflects on the value of his work:   “Art is entertainment in part. The challenge is to create that which has never been done before. I chose kinetic sculpture because it has been relatively underutilized. What drew me to motion art is that it stimulates the visual senses more than other disciplines.” Brewitz kinetic sculpture has a calming quality that enhances the environment and its surroundings. “Generating concepts is the easy part! Implementing them is quite another. I have more ideas than time and many are still unexplored.“

Tom’s work often has the look of a graphic drawing set into motion. The reason for this is that Brewitz has several monikers – graphic designer, logo designer, name and slogan creator, magazine designer, marketing writer, and has generated a host of print and web promotions commercially. The movement of his compositions is often mistaken as motorized or electrically produced.

 As a young boy in the 1960’s, Brewitz sketched cartoons, was interested in modern art and decided to be an artist while attending grade school. He created clothing and put slogans with illustrations on shirts. Later, as a young man traveling Europe, South America, Africa and islands for the US Navy, he was attracted to the work of the Italian, French, German, Spanish artists and architects. During his college studies, including the University of Minnesota, he rediscovered architecture and interest in sculptors David Smith, Yaacov Agam, George Rickey, regional artists and famous masters.  In the 1970's, Brewitz began working with metal and learned how balance and motion can be exploited for maximum visual impact.  The broad appeal of his work became obvious in his initial exhibits in the early 1980's and won him praise and applause. As he developed his mastery of kinetic sculpture, Brewitz also took a career in graphic design. His illustration talent allowed Brewitz to create portraits for reproduction, logos and printed media including magazines, advertising and promotional material. Today he still enjoys working as a corporate image consultant for CornerMark.com, putting together a wide variety of services for businesses.
