[USAO-ArtGallery] sculpture presentation

[usao-artgallery at lists.onenet.net]

The public is invited to the presentation of internationally known artist, Mark Statsz of Bellvue, Idaho, of his proposal as the first of three artists under consideration. His presentation is scheduled at 11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, in the Davis Hall Theater at USAO. Stasz will present his proposal for the public art sculpture to be erected in the Alumni Walk of Fame in front of the USAO Nash Library.



Stasz is a fine arts graduate of Alfred University in Alfred, N.Y., and over the past 15 years, has created more than 200 site-specific works of art for private, corporate and public clients. Stasz works specifically with metal and rock that are ideally suited for large-scale outdoor sculptures. "The elemental forms of my work are broad in aesthetic appeal-large open circles and sweeping curves have an inherent beauty and gracefulness regardless of their size," Stasz said in his proposal to USAO.  "They allow for the viewer to see through the work and place it visually in its surrounding environment. I strive to create visual tension and intrigue by incorporating the forms in an asymmetrical composition or by suspending large rock forms."  



USAO has selected three artists from a pool of 82 state, national and international sculptors competing in USAO's Nash Library Public Art Project. Characteristic examples of their work can be viewed on the USAO website: http://www.usao.edu/gallery/finalists.htm <http://www.usao.edu/gallery/finalists.htm
