For
over forty five years Dan Pogue has been an award-winning sculptor.
He studied under international sculptor Keating Donohoe in Oklahoma
City for two years. He has had his own art bronze foundry since
1970. He sculpts in clay and casts his work in bronze in the
foundry near Marble Falls, Texas. They appear with great movement
and expression. His designs continue to intrigue and delight the
viewers. Dan’s new series of “Bright Shapes and Missing Pieces”
exhibits a new modern and contemporary style. The Kudu is the third
in the series.
Pogue has expert knowledge in all aspects of sculpture creation,
including designing, molding, casting and creating the right patina
for each bronze. Many of his life size and monumental sculptures
have been placed internationally at churches, libraries,
universities, memorial parks, and other public and private
locations. His work includes commissions of religious and other
figures, and portraits of well-known people for memorials. Other
works of art include figurative, portraits, impressionism and some
wildlife, that he has cast in limited editions.
Pogue and his wife, Marti founded the successful “Sculpture on Main”
exhibition in Marble Falls, TX. It is a yearly Public Art project in
its fourth year and starting applications for year five. Dan will be
showing “Matching Pair” in 2011-2012 exhibit of sculptures that
starts on October 14th on Historic Main Street. Sculpture on Main is
sponsored by the Lake LBJ/ Marble Falls Chamber of Commerce and the
Community Art Fund; gaining the reputation of a quality sculpture
exhibit and bringing tourists back year after year.
