AUSTIN SCULPTURE COLLECTION
SCULPTURE IS A THREE DIMENSIONAL WORK OF ART THAT IS THE UNIQUE EXPRESSION OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR CULTURE.
CREATED FROM THE EARTH’S MOST ENDURING MATERIALS (STONE, BRONZE, WOOD, METAL OR TERRACOTTA), SCULPTURE AT ONCE EXPRESSES AN IDEA OR FEELING, BEAUTIFIES, INSPIRES, ORNAMENTS, AND ENHANCES OUR ENVIRONMENT.
FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS, AUSTIN HAS BEEN CREATING THE SCULPTURAL TREASURES THAT ENRICH THE WORLD AROUND US FROM THE PRIMITIVE FORMS OF AFRICA, THROUGH THE ORNAMENTAL AND CONTEMPLATIVE ORIENTAL SCULPTURE, TO THE CONTEMPORARY WORKS OF THE PRESENT.
THERE ARE OVER FIVE HUNDRED DISTINCTIVE PIECES IN THE AUSTIN SCULPTURE COLLECTION, EACH WITH A HISTORY AS UNIQUE AS THE SCULTPURE ITSELF.
ECILA
ECILA HAS BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT ART HER WHOLE LIFE.
SHE CREDITS HER EARLY ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO THE UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF HER MOTHER.
HER STYLE COMBINES HER KEEN OBSERVATION OF DETAIL WITH A STRONG SENSE OF INHERENT DIGNITY AND IS MOVING FROM A MORE TRADITIONAL REPRESENTATION OF AFRICAN AMERICANS TO A MORE CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVE.
HER FIGURES PORTRAY THE JOYS OF CHILDHOOOD, PARETING, WOMANHOOD AND RELATIONSHIPS.
HER SCULPTURES TOUCH THE LIVES OF MANY WITH THEIR ENERGY AND OPTIMISM.
