Artwork description:

Pablo was clearly influenced by Pablo Picasso. The piece was cut diagonally in half, a bit more than half way to the top. The cut began at the focal point of the piece. That bifurcated the piece. The right edge of the top part was then slide down meet the center of the base. The same procedure was inflicted on the top third of the sculpture in the opposite direction.

There is a childish character to Pablo. It appears to be humorous and packed with whimsy.

I have always had an affinity for creating with wood. Over the years I've restored 10 properties. Several were historic. One is listed on the National Registry of Historic Structures. I've also built wooden boats. My career was dedicated to teaching studio art at three different colleges over a period of 44 years. I've exhibited in NYC, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Florence Italy, Liverpool England, and numerous museums and galleries throughout the US. Creating challenging provocative work has been a life long goal. I consider myself a process artist. My that I mean... I enjoy all aspects making the work. After that I basically leave it in the hands of the gods.

Pablois finished with three coats of steel impregnated paint, then sprayed with an activator... magically turning the surface in to a completely convincing appearance of rusted steel.

All of my sculptures are made out of wood (Cedar). They are intended to be placed in an interior environment only. Although my sculptures are photographed outside. The decision to shoot my work outside is intended to provide the viewer a more accurate sense of color and texture. Natural light is hard to beat.

The base of the sculpture fits easily into the 18" slotted base. The base is shipped separately.

Materials used:
