Dan Rider creates modern sculpture that explores the idea of “creating one out of the many.” His outdoor sculptural works incorporate layered, dimensional elements made from a range of materials including steel, wood, stone, aluminum, copper, and precast reinforced concrete. Through this process, Rider brings disparate components together into cohesive, unified forms. His contemporary three-dimensional wall sculptures often utilize wire mesh and perforated sheet metal to create representational works inspired by nature. Each element is individually fabricated by hand, from shaping and cutting to assembly, emphasizing craftsmanship and intentional design. Rider has a long and successful history of collaborating with collectors, designers, and art consultants. His work is highly adaptable to both residential and commercial settings and can be found in galleries, private collections, corporate offices, healthcare environments, and hospitality spaces across the country.
