Steel-clad fantasies. Craft also contributes significantly to the sculptures that Warren Holzman is showing in this season's second Challenge exhibition at the Fleisher Art Memorial. 

All six pieces are formed primarily of forged and fabricated steel. The metal conveys strength, utility and, as Holzman uses it, elemental rawness. As such, it establishes a piquant counterpoint to the spirit of fantasy and playfulness that the sculptures communicate. 

Small Victory is a prime example. It resembles an arched segment of large intestine fitted out with four wheels and a sturdy towing string, perched on a small concrete arch. Bad Breath is a skull sprouting a cluster of tendrils that terminate in tiny bomblike forms. 

A monumental rusted head resting on a weathered wooden cargo pallet evokes the dichotomy between durable reality and suggestive fantasy even more emphatically. A constant interplay between these two perceptions gives Holzman's work its vitality.
