Biography
Glen Hinz Copper Relieft Sculptures
Glen R. Hinz has been a full-time professional artist for over 27 years. As a native of Arizona, Glen's work reflects a profound love and admiration for the Southwestern Sonoran Culture that we all enjoy so much.
He has made copper, which is so closely associated with Arizona, his medium. His 3D Pictorial Copper Relief Sculptures are shown at galleries throughout Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. In addition to the work he does for his large following of private owners, Glen also has performed many commissions for major hotels, shopping centers, banks, corporate offices, and many government buildings including the Arizona Superior Court Building.
Glen achieves his uniquely beautiful and timeless sculptures by the use of various tooling and hammering techniques, some of which he had to develop himself. He, unlike many other metal working artists, actually works on both side of the metal, thus allowing the creation of many different dimensions and textures. His work is then painstakingly colored, using chemical oxidants and small water-color brushes, with a degree of control and enhanced effect that places his work on a level of its own. The piece is meticulously cleaned and hand-buffed to complete the effect. To insure the lasting quality of the piece, a minimum of tow (2) coats of the finest metal lacquer is applied.
All of Glen's work is individually framed and matted, with the matting done in such a way as to create the feeling of a shadowbox.
