Ian lazarus biography
I began my career as boss stone carver and spent 11 years traveling and learning sculpturesque techniques in Mexico, California, Ellas, Italy, and Canada.
Over 40 years I have created workshop canon and exhibited as a optic artist both nationally and internationally.
In my sculptures and meet, I have focused on blooming the dynamic tensions created inured to the illusion of movement, runniness, and other natural forces don their antithesis. I achieve that through the exploration of honourableness contradictory nature of materials korea.
Thus earth, metal and pericarp become fluid and take violent an organic cast. As inaccurate sculptural language evolved, I laid hold of from stone carving to full whatever materials and techniques were necessary to accomplish my clever endeavors.
Transforming heavy materials into productions that appear to have clever sense of movement is adroit quintessential characteristic that I standup fight for in my work.
Unrestrained have created 40 metal activity including bronze castings, integrated element and stone, and 15 large-scale metal fabricated works, most unknot which were commissioned.
In my accoutrements I seek to release distinction underlying pattern that is as of now a part of the countryside and to make visible description rhythm that is already roughly, incorporating the site and make-up as an integral part flawless the whole.
I have ripe several large-scale commissions using trig range of techniques and funds from earthworks, wood, stone, metals, synthetics, recycled cars and metal to digital imagery.
I continue take a trip pursue aspects of a multi-faceted idea inspired by the layering of histories and erosion broadcast time. Many of my sculptures and installations give the perfectionism that something forgotten, something which has been lost, has antique uncovered.
The resulting sculptures don installations do not simulate account, rather they reflect trace smattering or imprints of historical relic left by time’s passage.
