Warren Cullar, Sculpture
My newest passion is my Stacked Stone series. I take a piece of nature, a rock and change it, then balance it with other forms and cast into bronze.”
After earning his BFA and MFA degrees, Warren Cullar started his art career by selling his hand-pulled stone lithographs and watercolors that garnered him his first publication, an article about his work in the December 1978 issue of Southwest Art magazine.
The artist admits that in those days he was not interested in awards or galleries and chose to be a producing artist and sold his art in many different formats. During this time he found his way as an adventure artist with scientific expeditions to Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, Spain, and Easter Island to name a few of the 36 countries stamped in his passport.
In the early 1990s, Warren built an 840 sq. ft. painting studio on the back of his wooded property and produced acrylic paintings, hand-pulled serigraphs, and soft ground etchings. A large bronze commission was awarded to him and although he had studied bronze casting in Mexico in the late 1960s, it was years before Warren “pulled the trigger” and discovered that bronze sculpture was best suited to his nature. “My watercolors are dry in their box at my studio,” Warren says.
Warren and his CPA wife, Kitty Biel, live and work from their Austin and Santa Fe homes, two studios and sculpture garden.
