Jedd Novatt (born 1958) is an American sculptor who creates dynamic, non-representational compositions of geometric forms.
Novatt lived and worked in Manhattan until 2002, where he was recognized for his welded and painted steel sculptures[2] and bold, black-and-white collages.
Whether the works are created in steel or bronze, the configuration of elements "seems to teeter as if on the point of collapse.” [4] One critic noted: “Novatt searches to capture an instant of equilibrium in unstable and fragile situations, similar to our existential condition, but also to the particular moment that we are living.” [5] Novatt says: "The title Chaos represents an idea that encapsulates various aspects of the definition of the word chaos.
In 2012, the city of Bilbao, Spain installed Chaos Nervion by Jedd Novatt in the Campa de los Ingleses surrounded by the Guggenheim Museum, Raphael Moneo Library and the Cesar Pelli tower.
[9] In April 2016, Chaos Meteoro, an important monumental work, was unveil at Chatworth House in Derbyshire, United Kingdom.
