German American artist Julian Voss-Andreae invited to participate in the El Paseo Invitational Sculpture Exhibition 2009/2010 in Palm Desert.

The outdoor exhibition is situated on the mile-long El Paseo shopping district in Palm Desert, CA. The exhibition will be on display through October 2010, as part of the City's Art in Public Places program. The 2009/2010 exhibition is curated by Mark Stephenson, artist and educator, of Sky Valley Pictures.

Julian Voss-Andreae is a German-born sculptor based in Portland (Oregon). Starting out as a painter he later changed course and studied physics at the universities of Berlin, Edinburgh and Vienna. Voss-Andreae pursued his graduate research in quantum physics, participating in a seminal experiment demonstrating quantum behavior for the largest objects thus far. He moved to the U.S. in 2000 with his passion for art rekindled and graduated from Art College in 2004.
Voss-Andreae’s work has quickly gained critical attention. His sculpture is heavily influenced by his background in science, capturing the attention of multiple institutions and collectors in the U.S and abroad, including recent commissions for a large-scale outdoor piece for the Scripps Research Institute in Florida and a sculpture for Nobel laureate Roderick MacKinnon at Rockefeller University in New York City. Voss-Andreae’s work has been featured in several publications, including Science Magazine, one of the world’s leading science journals.
Among Voss-Andreae's recent work is  Science (Quantum Woman) which was installed at Lake Oswego’s “Gallery Without Walls” in August 2008. He also completed  his most complex and largest protein sculpture so far displaying 1336 amino acids.

 

Based on the human antibody molecule it is called “Angel of the West”.  The sculpture is now installed at the new Florida campus of the Scripps Research Institute.  The Oregon Public Broadcasting TV’s “Oregon Art Beat” featured Julian's work called “Quantum Sculptures with Julian Voss-Andreae” that included footage of the creation of the “Angel”.
Julian Voss-Andreae continues to push the envelope by merging science and art. The result is art that is “more than a pretty picture” (Science writer and Nature editor Philip Ball).
