Artist Statement:
From a philosophical
standpoint, all that we
perceive in the
world of form is an outer
expression of an inner
dynamic.
Though my work is
predominantly figurative, I
find it to be
the art of giving form to the
formless; ideas, emotions,
relationships, events. These
are by their very nature
intangible
and essentially abstract,
though they continually alter
and effect
our physical reality. We read
them through our intuitive
understanding of body
language, much as snow blown
about
on a winter’s day reveals the
invisible movement and form of
the wind. To ‘clothe’ these
subliminal qualities in human
figures
and bring them forth in a
sculpture, whether it be a
simple
figure inspired by a model’s
beauty or an allegory of our
human
condition, is the basic goal
and driving force in my work.

Artist Reviews:
My strongest impression
when I approach Bruce Naigles’
sculptures is the subtlety of
his pieces. The subject of his
work is often simple and
reveals to us an introspective
side of human nature. His
nearly minimalistic sculptures
manage to attract and keep the
attention of the viewer. As
