ALLAN CYPRYS
Working in wood and or mixed media I create sculptural images that reflect my continual fascination with modern architecture. My philosophy of "less is more" helps me to create shapes and forms that capture the essence of a structure. My recent series entitled "Skyscrapers" I takes a structure and give it a human like form.

ESTHER A.GRILLO

In Esther Grillo's surrealistic body of work, the human form is unified visually through a mix of media, the inventive use of trompe L'oeil as well as physically by high intensity heat.

CAROLINE HALLAS
The area where sculpture and painting meet is the area that interests me space illusionistic and real.

DONALD KAPELA
The serenity of the countryside, the vastness of the sky, the richness of the fields, the majesty of the trees blended into a work of form, line, and color. The art work is a combination of painting and freestanding sculpture.

SIENA PORTA
...this new series will be fantastic! I'm in love with it....of course

I instinctively tend to balance hard-edge geometric order to which I am drawn, with rounded, ondulating, dancing forms which I admire;






Who We Are:
A group of professional artists who have been actively exhibiting through 14 Sculptors Gallery, a non-profit tax exempt organization. In 1973, in the SoHo district of New York, 14 Sculptors first opened its doors to the public, creating a forum for experimental sculpture, free from the constraints of a commercial viewpoint.

From it's inception 14 Sculptors focused on the following objectives; To provide the opportunity to members and invited artists to exhibit original artwork (sculpture) on a regular basis; To meet regularly with other professionals for discussion and artistic exchange and: To actively stimulate dialogue between the community, the artists and critical review.

14 Sculptors evolved from a group of New York based artists. Our objectives began to expand as the membership sought to include artists and outside curators from a broader national base. Lawrence Alloway, the well-known art critic, addressed this issue in our 1983 Tenth Anniversary Exhibition-THEN & NOW catalogue, in an essay where he noted that "(all) places share equal access to information about the current art world in New York; hence the cogency and topicality of the group's work."

By the mid-eighties our membership had grown to include artists from Europe and Asia as well as artists from diverse regions of the country. Our regular meetings were supplemented by long distance communications and 14 Sculptors became increasingly involved with outreach exhibitions, e.g. (In 1988 we coordinated an exhibition of South And North American Sculptors).

14 Sculptors Gallery has become 14 Sculptors Inc., maintaining an active site on the Internet which will present the artwork and c.v.'s. of the current membership. We now look to diverse venues both within and outside the art establishment to create exhibition opportunities in keeping with our primary objectives; sustaining that window of "cogency and topicality of the group's work" while continuing our dialogue between artists and the community.
