ARTIST STATEMENT
My “Alley Dude” humanoid sculptures exploit a concept that I deem as eloquent as speech, Body Language. Its intuitiveness ignores knowledge, transcends cultures, it is universal. Alley Dudes are colorful contemporary interpretations of thought and action through candid, yet precisely organized lines and shapes. These figures literally talk to their observers enticing them to engage in the “conversation”. The lightness of their message reaches spectators of all ages, they are fun, distracting and bright beings. Made of PVC tubes, the simplicity of their concept, yet intricate designs will guide you into imagining the details of their facial expressions and hand gestures. For each conceptual sculpture, the articulation and colors are always finalized with consideration of the display location and of its users. Alley Dude climbing up the Eiffel Tower? Why not?
