Sculptural Artist Andrew Myers’ Leap of Faith
Leap of Faith
Andrew Myers has been artistically influenced by european life and culture. He was born in Braunshweig, Germany and raised in Ciudad Real, Spain.
At age 20, Andrew attended the Art Institute of Southern California, now known as Laguna College of Art and Design, after which he put his faith in his art and began to work as a full time artist. His personal “Leap of Faith”
A reminder to all of us to just begin. My favorite quote is,
“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, Begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.” Goethe
Idea Roadblock
Andrew’s subjects matter certainly makes the viewer pause for reflection. Little snippets of the life of every-man-woman.
The Idea Roadblock resonates for me as just out of reach, that inspirational idea that I can almost touch, but I need to stretch just a bit more, just past my comfort zone. Knowing I might fail, but still taking that “Leap of Faith”, just beginning “it”.
Oh Life's Unexpected Moments
Oh, Life’s Unexpected Moments. – Just when I think I have everything balanced, the unexpected happens and sends me flying. It happens to us all from time to time, it is the way of the world. But then before I know it, I’m right back there stretching for the new idea and taking another leap of faith.
Life's Deconstruction Phase 2
The blend of modern material with classical figurative techniques featuring universal subject matter are prevalent throughout his work. He uses, among other media, bronze and cement in his sculpture and in his drawings, rice paper, charcoal, stains, wood finishes.
To learn more about this thoughtful Artist you can begin with this wonderful interview in this PDF of the Fall 2008 issue of Sculptural Pursuit. There are many pieces of his in this interview that aren’t on his website. But do take time to visit and explore more of his interesting sculptures and drawings on his website.
