Glenn Marlowe has been an artist for almost 30 years. Early in his career his artistic focus was on painting, drawing and pastel work. As his painting evolved into a dramatic impasto style, his direction toward sculpture became a natural transition in 1980. The scale of his work ranges from miniature to larger-than-life head and bust portraits life-size and over-life size and also includes full-length torsos.
The artist's unique style incorporates a process of controlling and manipulating form. Classes in anatomy at New York's Columbia Presbyterian Hospital imbued his work with the true spirit of the human body. The biomechanics of muscle and bone continue to influence his work, instilling a sense of dynamic motion. He models the structural elements of his pieces after the Renaissance artists Donatello, Michelangelo and Bernini. Studying the work of these masters-in-situ has greatly impacted his stylistic development.
