Simplicity, Harmony, and Order

Nature reveals these laws to those who seek.  And for Gerard Krimmer, it means a daily pursuit, seeking to constitute the truth of these principles.

​

Beauty, Balance, and Meaning

What boundless challenges face creativity when one attempts to materialize thought.  Sculpture - a Path, a Journey, a Life - Pressed by an inward soul, putting forth energy to create, and with this, happiness.

​

Born in 1959, this read-headed, identical twin was the world from many focal points.  His father, being in the military, assured the family of a wide array of venues.  The Southeast, East, and West Coast, and the Northwest, were part of his youth.  So also were four years spent in Panama.  With the Panama Canal, came an opportunity to see art items from around the world.

​

This cornucopia of creativity establishes a validity in Gerard's mind that ART is a vital and necessary part of any healthy society.  And this, in turn has led Gerard to devote the last decade to finding and expressing life in rock, stone, and wood.

​

To select a piece of stone or wood and attack it, pouring forth energy, capturing it in a life before work ceases, is a challenge.  The concept of going from the mind to the carving block without the use of models, but rather, inspiration and intuition is what Gerry enjoys most.  This is called direct carving.

​

The fact that each sculpture is subtractively carved means that every on of Gerard's works are one of a kind creations.  This labor intensive art assures an Integrity, a Solidity, and a Response to the fast paced synthetic world.  Given an opportunity to live with Gerard's Sculpture, on will over the course of time, develop an affection and respect to the life of the sculpture.
