Presentation by Renowned Sculptor Eugene Daub at Angels Gate Cultural Center, Nov. 6

 

The public is invited to a special presentation by acclaimed sculptor Eugene Daub, who will offer a behind-the-scenes look at his work on monumental bronze statues and reliefs. The event is open to all.

In his talk, Daub will give a detailed slide presentation, walking attendees through the intricate processes behind each sculptural installation. From conceptualization to completion, he will share the meticulous techniques and creative vision involved in crafting these public art pieces, which grace spaces across the nation.

Eugene Daub is widely recognized for his extraordinary contributions to historical bronze sculptures, particularly those depicting prominent American figures. Many of his works are installed locally in the Harbor Area, including statues and reliefs of Joe Hill, Harry Bridges, the Los Angeles Port Police, and Phineas Banning, each adding to the cultural and historical fabric of the community.

Among his many achievements, Daub’s most celebrated work is the statue of civil rights icon Rosa Parks, permanently displayed in the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall. Additionally, he takes great pride in his massive Lewis and Clark monument in Kansas City, Kansas — a project that spanned four years from planning to installation.

A blue ribbon panel will serve as moderators including Lesley A. Elwood, public art program manager of the Metro Line. Elwood has been responsible for artist coordination on the completion of station artwork for the project from Union Station to Pasadena. Michael Davis is a practicing studio and public artist living in San Pedro. Davis has public art commissions installed throughout the United States and in Japan. Adolfo Nodal is a native of Cuba with deep roots in the island. Nodal was general manager of the City of Los Angeles’s Department of Cultural Affairs for 12 years ending in 2001.

This presentation offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from a master sculptor whose monumental works continue to shape and reflect American history. Join for an insightful evening with Eugene Daub.

This event is wholly funded by Arts United.
