ALLAN CYPRYS
Artist's Statement, Curriculum Vitae



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.

In my recent series, entitled "Skyscrapers", I take a structure and give it human like form.
