The essence of the sculpture of Bobbie Carlyle is captured in the words
bold strength and provocative intelligence. She has established herself in fine art,
particularly during the past decade. She creates sculptures in bronze and stone, all
executed with imagination and vitality, in subjects ranging from wildlife to western
figurative. Carlyle has created some of the most compelling figurative work in the art
world today, work that causes the viewer to look into themselves with the several layers
of meaning. Indeed, it is work that carries a strong psychological appeal: dealing with
the full spectrum, complexity of emotion, struggles and triumphs of life. She has studied
under many of the notable artists of today and also takes influence from Solon and Gutzon
Borglulm, Daniel Chester French and Michaelangelo. Further, her own life struggles and her
seven children have been inspiration to many of her works. |
