About:
Sculpture - Russell Whiting
A
self-taught artist, Russell Whiting began carving wood and
stone before creating his contemporary figurative sculpture
using carved steel, cast iron or mixed-medium.
Relying
on sketches inspired by religion, ancient cultures, mythology
and other artists, Mr. Whiting forms his figures using an
oxy-acetylene torch which he discovered while working on oil
platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. By controlling the amount of
heat and oxygen applied to his sculptures, Mr. Whiting shapes,
texturizes and blends the metal into graceful figures.
