SCULPTURE

Brian Scruby's sculpture drawings in graphite represent a personal history of the heroic and historical scenes he has witnessed in his travels around the world. Included are The Venus De Milo, The Three Graces, The Lions at Trafalgar, Michelangelo's Pieta, The Emperor Charlemagne, King Louis XIV of France, Achilles and others. Many of the works feature his interpretations of nationalistic and religious statuary that was created by history's most gifted artists. Their works have lasted unchanged through recorded time. Of these statues, Scruby says he is mindful of the genius that created them and that he strives to honor that genius by breathing life into the bronze and marble, turning statues back into flesh and blood.
