Artistic Vision Statement
I have been fortunate over the last several years to have designed and created some of the largest (if not the largest) mammal monuments ever created by traditional lost wax casting methods. I believe that there are three key characteristics to my approach to all monumental sculpture projects that differentiate us from other artists:
1) Artistic Quality: Key elements include effective consideration of accurate and believable gestures, correct anatomy and proportions, and dynamic designs intended to be more than mere "representations of nature."
2) Interactive Bronze Exhibition Concept: Regardless of any independent sculpture size or dynamic design, I believe it can be made even "more" spectacular through the effective and tasteful use of other stimulus such as water effects, motion lighting, music ambient sounds and/or other effects which make sculpture exhibition more exciting and spectacular to the viewer, all at a low additional cost relative to the sculpture cost.
3) Team Approach: Successful execution (on time and on budget) requires a fully staffed studio to handle creative efforts, a corporate headquarters to handle administration and marketing, a sales agent, Wisse, Hollmann & Company, to handle project marketing, acquisition, and fund-raising programs, and strong foundry relationships.
I hope you enjoy my work!
Thanks for your interest,
Dick Idol
