Winged Torso # 1 Sculpture

Stephen T. Landis is a sculptor living in Loveland, CO. He received his BFA in Design from  the University of Denver and his MFA in Sculpture from the New York Academy of Art. He has taught Ceramics at the University of Denver and Sculpture at Art Vallarta in Mexico. To me, sculpting is drawing in three dimensional space so I must be flexible to the fluctuations in my creative process. I realize my work in many different mediums, such as bronze, clay, plaster, wood, concrete or whatever I find is best for a particular project. I believe that limiting mysef to a single medium is restrictive to the process.  This process most often is born with the manifestation of an idea or image in my mind of some sort which then becomes the starting point for a sculpture.   As the idea and form becomes more definable, it starts to take on a meaning to me and allows me to explore what theme or image has been presented. This procedure is what I go though with each sculpture I create. What they have in common is the process. His work has been shown and won awards at the National Academy of Design, Allied Artists of America, Audubon Artists, North American Sculpture Exhibition, Art in Public Places Anaheim, CA. and the Art Students League of NYC among others.
