THEODORE GALL
New Work
JAN 22 - 31, 2021
With a professional career spanning more than fifty years, Theodore Gall has been working in metal since his early days as an artist. Although his work has not been limited to the human form, it has been his primary focus throughout his career. His compelling figures are most often placed in thought-provoking situations. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the American Academy of Art and has served as consultant to the Art Institute and the Illinois Arts Council. Gall has exhibited and garnered awards throughout the country and has acquired a burgeoning international clientele.
Gall's work is lost wax cast into bronze, aluminum or stainless steel or welded Cor-ten steel. Most of his sculptures are comprised of many separate components that are assembled in either the wax or the metal stage. Many of the larger works are produced in editions of seven or ten while the smaller pieces are one of a kind in that each one is assembled individually. While a concept may be repeated many times, each sculpture is unique.
