G.man Production Exhibit Title – Art for your heart

 

Statement

 

My art is different because it is art with an experience, and that experience is YOU. When you discover my art, you are involved, there is an inner awareness of your own heart. I invite you to let go and explore the intuitive, free-spirited journey. You feel a connection to my art, an attachment to it, you open your heart to it, and it chooses you.

 

They say artists always have a message. For me, it is to make people happy. No matter what art I make, I want people to stop and think about what it says to them. It is very simple; happiness is how to make the world a better place. That is why I make . . . “art for your heart”.

 

My current focus is sculpture, free-standing 3D and wall sculptures. I am salvaging and re-purposing material. I design and manipulate paint and acrylic and mixed media objects into a message. I also apply my in-depth knowledge of raw wood, combined with self-taught metal manipulation skills of bending, welding, fusing. I am recycling all this into stories for you and me to share.

 

I have an inventory available, plus I take custom orders. Genuine G.man pieces include my copper hand-stamped logo.

 

Bio

 

I began creating at age 4, fashioning a cross of wood for my mother.  I made art through furniture and antiques as a cabinetmaker, upholsterer, designer, and re-finisher.  I incorporated texture, such as glass and metal – evolving to fountains, metal sculptures, wooden art. The art world calls me an “Outsider Artist”.  My friends call me “Renaissance Man” – I easily learn, apply, and combine different fields.

 

I apply my abstract vision to wood that I have cut, carved and sanded such as cedar, pine, mahogany, even reclaimed wood.  I sculpt with wood, I paint on wood, and I mount photography on wood.  I cut, bend, and solder metal with wood.  I design paint, texture, and framing onto wood to create mixed media pieces.  I create depth and emotion by combining wood with natural media, such as glass, rocks, shells, metal, even fabric.

 

I have been selling my art since 2017 as G.man production “art for your heart”, working as a two-person team with my wife running all operations of our art business.  My highlight was “Best In Show” among 80 pieces in 2022 for my sculpture that found its home with a lovely Fort Lauderdale couple one month later.
