Calvin's BRONZE SCULPTURES embrace a figurative tradition but with a distinctly abstract attitude. He paid homage to the unfinished works of Michelangelo and adds to this a modernist geometric element of his abstract expressionism! His purposeful uses distortions to give the sculpture a sense of emotions!
This piece is part of a very large collection of Calvin's works including Charcoals Drawings, Bronze, Terra Cotta, Fiberglass, Plaster, and Resin with Gesso Sculptures. Please inquire about additional pieces and prices.

He was a prominent SCULPTOR and an ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST, although he walked his own line between representation and abstraction. His figures have muscular form; and simultaneously have serenity and a tension. Powerful – majestic – mysterious works! Calvin was a sculptor of enormous range and integrity! He combined both tools and hand to develop his geometric element of distortion from life-like to emotions!
