• Donald Davis, Stone Sculptor - Background - My sculptural endeavors reflect this ebb and flow between two hemispheres. Some works are about nature - the shapes are fluid and organic; other works are architectonic, geometric and based on man's constructions. Often my sculptures juxtapose the differing forms and seek a harmonious balance. My primary ongoing objective is to interlace these two hemispheres and celebrate the underlying principles that I view as a great common bond throughout.

• Luciano Gabrielli, A Sculptor - Artistic works of marble , bronze and other materials - biografia - Luciano Gabrielli, born in Pietrasanta (Lucca) in 1940. For many years after his studies, he worked and cooperated with several sculptors to the realization of works made of marble or stone of national and international present-day famous artists. At the same time, he carried out the artistic research of his own marble sculpture. He taught “Plastic Subjects” in the teaching post of Figure and Modelled Ornamental design at the state High School of Art in Novara. The first research period was characterized by the synthesis of the human figure through planes and lines as expression of movement and formal elegance. In mid-eighties his researches experienced an expressive change, the classics used for his own first studies come back to his mind so that a much more figurative dimension takes shape slowly merging it with some elements of the previous research. Although in most cases his sculptures have been realized in marble, today he uses different materials, such as wood, resins and others. His long activity allowed him to place his public works in schools, churches and State buildings. See: Galleria, Arte, Arte Sacra, Opere Pubbliche Contact: lgabrielli@r-j.it or +39 0321 863292

• Ed Jaffe, Marble Sculptor - Marble Sculpture and Paintings by Ed Jaffe - Biography - I have toured the east coast of the US looking for sculpture and find that I have a larger selection of marble sculpture on my gallery floor than any other commercial space outside of New York. I know how to handle it, to ship it and to make sure that you are satisfied with your choice. Like the dictionary definition...most galleries have forgotten what sculpture is supposed to be and in the process they no longer have the knowledge, the equipment or the personnel to move stone. I do. See: Sculpture, Abstract Sculpture, Profile Article ( "Many of Ed Jaffe's sculptures and paintings evoke images of mysterious cultures and lost civilizations. The Mayans, Incas, Aztecs and Ancient Chinese emerge from the stone Jaffe carves into polished works of art." )  Contact: sculpture@edjaffe.com or (540) 672-2400
