ABOUT FITZHUGH KAROL

Fitzhugh Karol (b. 1982) is an American artist born in New Hampshire. Karol sculpts in wood, metal, and clay to create artwork that ruminates on man’s imprint in the landscape. Karol’s sculptures use portals, steps, and slopes to respond to their surroundings. The forms of his abstract sculptures draw on silhouettes of actual and imagined landscapes. He creates playful spaces for his viewers to inhabit. Karol’s practice ranges from work that can be contained within a gallery setting to large-scale public sculptures that create an inviting and unconventional way to experience art.
