Bill
Mack has produced relief sculptures for over 30 years and is internationally
recognized as the contemporary master of this art form. He has
developed a unique style called "alto relief" in which some
elements of his creations project from the background into full-round
parts. Since introducing his works in Galleries a decade ago, he has
received worldwide recognition, and editions of his relief sculptures are
regularly selling out.
Examples of his work are included in the collections of celebrities
such as Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Curtis and Sylvester Stallone, and
politicians including Presidents Clinton, Reagan and Ford, and world
leaders such as Mikhail Gorbechev and Chinese Premier Jiang Zemin. Mack
has also created numerous commissions such as his relief sculpture titled
"Hope," in memory of his friend, Ryan White, for the Ryan White
Foundation, and sculptures of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Arthur Ashe, and other
famous athletes that are enshrined in the Halls of Fame of their
respective sports. Albert Einstein, or his sold-out studies of the
majestic Bald Eagle.
Bill Mack is a master draftsman. His relief sculptures are prefigured
by many drawings before he begins the actual sculpting. Mack's work also
responds to another unique requirement to successfully accomplish relief
sculpture: the ability to foreshorten. To appear realistic, the
figures, or objects in a relief sculpture must be altered to correct the
optical distortion inherent in this art form. This manipulation of the
distorted third dimension is a special skill that separates Bill Mack from
all other artists, and can only be acquired through decades of extensive
experience.
By any measure, the unique, individually-signed works produced by Bill
Mack not only represent the evolution of a basic art form, but continue to
strike a responsive chord in the eyes of Mack's collectors and admirers
worldwide. |
