The Art of Randy Wix

Randy Wix spent his early years in the fields of construction and landscaping. When you enter his studio, you cannot help but notice that instead of art brushes and canvases, you find power tools, bundles of wire, bags of concrete and other items commonly found in a carpenters workshop rather than an artist studio. His studio is his job site and he is the contractor. The source of art supplies is the local hardware store and his creative process involves a combination of engineering, construction and curation. Randy discovers objects in the world around us daily and sees them as part of his storytelling efforts as he attempts to redefine and challenge the world around us. Randy's keen eye and his deep understanding of the power of form and function drive his creative process which result in powerful works that reflect the evolution and change in our world today. The future of our past is part of his everyday conversation as he thoughtfully engineers and builds his creations.
