Figurative Sculpture by Bob Clyatt
My work is to explore our oldest collective knowledge and somehow encode it in my sculptures and relate it to contemporary issues and audiences. In support of this I am drawn to create my sculptures using ancient materials and art-making methods, combined of course with modern technology--bringing the ancient and contemporary simultaneously into focus.
For me a successful sculpture is a mystery-object, gathering and amplifying whispers from the edges of awareness-- getting the head and the heart into a conversation.

This piece, an important commission for Bob,
had the goal to create a Jesus that we
understood to be connected to an eastern
tradition, and in so doing to create a
recognizable yet different Jesus than had
previously been created.
