Jeremy Anderson was a pioneering Bay Area sculptor who brought his own approach to an established stylistic tradition while paving the way for an innovative new direction. Throughout the 1950s Anderson produced carved redwood sculptures in the then-popular mode of biomorphic abstraction. Introduced by surrealist painters like André Masson and Joan Miró, and adapted to sculpture by Julio González, Isamu Noguchi, David Hare, and others, biomorphic abstraction incorporates forms that suggest animal, vegetable, or mineral life, but without literal references. The interpretation of such works is often intended to be open-ended, as the ambiguities inherent in the imagery provide viewers with multiple options for tapping their own imaginations.
