Affinity 5’s installation at Howard Community College for ARTsites 2019 marks sculptor Jeff Chyatte’s fifth consecutive year as an ARTsites exhibitor.The ease with which Chyatte’s modernist metal sculptures integrate themselves into formal or casual settings helps explain the artist’s wide appeal.
A professor in the Biological and Chemical Services Department at Montgomery College, Chyatte draws on his expertise in science and mathematics to achieve balance and harmony in his art, noting that “incorporating mathematically significant dimensions, such as the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio, ensures a subtle equilibrium found in nature.”
An enthusiastic proponent of public art, Chyatte says he hopes that “introducing sculpture into the landscape will open visitors to new ideas, inspire dialogue, enliven the community, and improve access to the arts.”
ARTsites 2019 sculptures will be on display through July 2020. You might not be able to get out and see all of these sculptures right now, but you can take a virtual look at all twelve here.
