The figure in sculpture has been done and is done. It is not new. Indeed, it goes back to the earliest archaeological traces of the human representational endeavor. As an object of contemplation, perhaps its day has passed. Still it endures.

 

The figure is a form, and a curious one at that. It is a form that elicits a response, an appreciation, even when created by some culture, some people or some language which might be non-existent today. It is a form that is most readily comprehended. Unlike a geometric form, the figure is not precisely defined. Its effectiveness lies in the fact that it is, by nature, only partially defined. It is never complete. It is always open ended, an invitation to something more.

Stanley Wrzyszczynski has been creating art in Licking County for the past 30 years. His work has been included in various shows and competitions in the United States. The artist holds a BFA from the Ohio State University, and an MFA from Vermont College.
