Granville Beals
Granville Beals creates modern industrial metal sculptures inspired by the avant-garde realms of figurative contemporary art and architecture. Born in Glens Falls, New York, and raised amidst the poetry of dance and the ethereal concept of weightlessness, Beals crafts his sculptures as an intricate exploration of the relationships in human connection. His work is a symphony, choreographed with lines that dance through negative space, creating a dialogue between the tangible and the intangible.
Immersed in the influences of architecture and minimalism, Beals disrupts conventions. The artist uses steel and found metal objects, color and texture, to create a transformative fusion of art and space. Beals is a provocateur of thought, urging us to reconsider the tools, techniques, and ambitions that shape our relationship with buildings while championing the preservation of the landscapes we inhabit. He established innovative ways to push the boundaries of his technique, creating modern abstract geometric designs inspired by contemporary art and architecture as well as organic forms expressing the unique vision for humanity in a modern world.
Beals' artistic legacy extends beyond the private realm, with his works finding a home in public collections across California, New York, and internationally. Notably, his Holocaust Memorial sculpture stands as a poignant testament in Santa Clarita, California – a permanent embodiment of the profound impact his art has on the collective human experience.
