 | Tom Corbin's introduction and subsequent career in sculpture has been based more on serendipity than calculation. A two dimensional artist in college, Tom's first brush with the third dimension came in a chance meeting with a bronze sculptor in 1982. Classes with this sculptor led to a deepened interest in bronze casting and thoughts of a career in art. In 1986, Tom left the secure confines of his advertising agency job for the unpredictability of life as a full time sculptor.
After a rocky first year, Tom landed his first major public commission in 1988. Additional commissions followed, along with the financial freedom for Tom to develop his own "speculative" sculpture. During this period, Tom was also experimenting with furniture design, an area that would soon play a major role in the growth of his studio operation.
Today, Tom's work appears in over 20 galleries and showrooms. In addition to important public and private collections, his work has found its way onto the sets of some major motion pictures, among them Ransom, True Lies, A Perfect Murder and Changing Lanes.
Tom's work continues to evolve through his integration of color, texture, structure and attitude. It is this constant change that makes each day a new opportunity to create something that is both unique and exciting. |
