Artist Bio
"Since 1982 I have been devoting fulltime to creating stainless steel sculptures. Most of my sculptures are a fine line between realistic representation and the abstract expression. In some instances, representing the commonplace uncommonly best describes my artwork. I enjoy watching people connect with my artwork while viewing it; if it elicits a response such as a smile or an outright laugh, then I feel I have succeeded."
There is no chrome plating or casting involved in the fabrication of Kahle's polished stainless steel sculptures. Each piece is constructed from a flat sheet of stainless steel about 1/16" thick. The pieces are cut out and all seams welded together, then the hard work starts with grinding, sanding and buffing each sculpture to give it the high tech polished finish with reflective qualities and a lively fluidity.
Gary Kahle has been selected and completed two 'Percent for Art' projects. The "In Motion" sculpture was installed on the outside wall of the new Department of Transportation office building in Lake City, FL and "Freedom Of Flight" sculpture installed in the courtyard of the new Veterans Home in Glendive, MT. He was selected four times to show at the North American Sculpture Exhibition in Golden, CO and was selected twice to show at the National Academy of Design in New York City, NY. Since 1982, Kahle has participated and won honors in numerous juried competitions. His sculptures are represented in private and business collections throughout America and several foreign countries.
