Artist Statement:
The purpose of my artwork is
to provoke a perceptual,
internal, and intellectual
response for the viewer, a
visual that speaks to life's
experiences. To create
symbols of universal
connection and the
relationship that one has to
another and to nature.
Furthermore, art conveys my
nonverbal view of life. An
ongoing portrayal of myself,
my behavior, adventure,
exploration, risk taking, and
my non-acceptance of
convention and the status quo.
I am continually in search of
the new, the different, and I
am fascinated with the
unconventional. Life has a
hard, aggressive side, as does
much of my work, represented
by rigid, angular lines.
However, the soft side is also
apparent, visible as curves
and soft forms.
I used the invaluable
experience of the mentorship
of Bill Prokopiof and Doug
Hyde, along with my own
vision, to create an evolving
body of work in alabaster,
marble, limestone, and bronze,
often combining different
elements to bring forth a
duality in the sculpture that
I make. My work is included
in private and public
collections
internationally....

| Your Personal Biography |
Art conveys my nonverbal view of life. An ongoing portrayal of myself, my behavior, issues of aggression, adventure, exploration, risk taking, and my non-acceptance of convention and the status quo. I am continually in search of the new, the different, and I am fascinated with the unconventional. Life has a hard aggressive side, as does much of my work, represented by rigid, angular lines. However, the soft side is also apparent, visible as curves and soft forms. My artwork can be viewed at twenty-two galleries nationwide, or via his website at www.markyaleharris.com.
