Sculptor Ken Kelleher creates incredibly realistic, thought-provoking renderings of gigantic public sculptures.
Bruno Catalano (Khouribga, 1960) is a French sculptor, most renown for creating sculptures of figures with substantial sections missing. Originally from Morocco, Bruno is the third and last child of a Sicilian family. In 1970 the Catalano family left Morocco for France. In 1982 he started working at the Société Nationale maritime Corse Méditerranée. He stayed there 4 years until 1986. He cites his experience as a sailor as central to his inspiration.
Public installations and sculptures are an incredible way to bring art to the masses. Some of these works are permanent and were officially commissioned by their cities while others are more guerilla-style urban pieces that are intended to be ephemeral and make only brief appearances.I love work that makes a statement, makes me think, inspires me or sometimes just simply makes me smile.
