ERIC LINDSEY

began his career as a young student in the late 1970s, working as a traditional painter influenced by magical realism. In 1977, he accepted a position as a sculptor’s apprentice to Daniel Lowery at his studio in O’Fallon, Illinois. It was in this capacity that he learned mold making, woodcarving, clay, metal casting, and iron forging. These experiences motivated him to commit to craftsmanship in a wide spectrum of materials and gave him a vision of what would become his life’s work.

Lindsey moved to Chicago after graduating in 1981, where he discovered stone working. He has exhibited work throughout the United States and France.

Lindsey absorbed and investigated everything from Bernini to Brancusi. It was during those days, in 1984, that he met Isamu Noguchi. After that conversation, he felt determined to combine elements of all of these materials to create a singular body of work that became something it already was.
