Sculpture
Alan Paulson is an American artist best known for bringing a humanist approach to formal abstraction. His steadfast commitment to laminated hand-carved wood sculpture with visible joinery remains noteworthy in contemporary art movements.
Paulson was featured in one-man exhibitions as early as 1967. His work has been shown in exhibitions throughout the US, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Paulson’s solo show at the celebrated Touchstone Gallery on East 64th Street in Manhattan was described in a 1977 Arts Magazine review as “a synergistic union of unbelievable fluidity.” metal
In the 1990s Paulson returned to his interest in metal work, casting directly from carved and found wood and natural objects. The pieces were treated with a naturalistic wood patina to create a trompe-l'œil effect.
